There ‘E Goes (The One Note Samba) – (Republished)
Jul 3
Posted by Ben Naga
THERE ‘E GOES (THE ONE NOTE SAMBA)
There are eight notes in the octave
(One of them recycles its name)
But then there are always those
Who only recognise one note
Repetitive and relentless
Me Me Me Me Me

Frequently, my initial reaction to this type of person is one of revulsion. but then I sometimes pause for reflection and begin wondering what sort of pain, fear and insecurity this behaviour is concealing.
