I missed the fact that it was Billy Holiday's birthday

So, once I heard, (thanks to a pre-recorded jazz show on BBC radio two) I wrote this:



Give me Billy Holiday

What can I say?,
I'm a sucker for the sway
Don't give me modern
give me a dip and a good sashay,
soapy Billie jazz
that's a little bit sad,
a sultry-eyed lover
a good talker--no truth,
smoky air, whiskey and a corner booth.
I've been alone,
got myself to blame.
Before too long
I'll be alone again,
and you know
I think I might love you
and so
lets see what a little moonlight can do.
