Country Joe McDonald and Basho

It's Country Joe McDonald's birthday. Here's a little something to commemorate it. Stick with it; after the annoying intro, it gets good, particularly "Who Am I."








And, from one of the Near Perfect Books of Poems, this selection from Basho and His Interpreters:

oh, nothing's happened to me!
yesterday has passed -
fugu soup

Basho

Homer Simpson's got nothing on Basho ...


best,
Don
