Slide Foundations – Last Call
Published: Sat, 01/27/24
Let's talk about
The bottleneck
I've had a few
That were legit
We took a bottle
Emptied it
Set water boiling
On the range
And while it looked
A little strange
We scored the neck
And plunged it right
Into the two-twelve
Fahrenheit
Results were mixed
But hey, no matter
If they mostly
Cracked and shattered
One or two
Emerged okay
Enough to polish
And to play
A little slide with –
Satisfying?
Yes, to hear those
Blue notes crying
But let's not
Romanticize
Too much. After a
Few more tries
I realized
Circumference
Is much of the
Significance
It governs how
The gizmo sits
Upon your pinkie,
How it fits
It's critical
And so I wound
Up going with
The slides I found
Behind the counter
At the store
Which I was using
Just before
I went off on
This expedition
To expand
My ammunition
Really, the
Important point
Involves your second
Pinkie joint
With slides too small
Don't push your luck
Or else your finger
Might get stuck
Find something good
To buy or borrow
And remember
That tomorrow
Is the Slide
Foundations class
So bring your porcelain
Chrome or glass

Here is how:
