Tuesday Haikusday: Exile with Esteban

Whilst still in exile, I’m making the best of it by doing some great learning. Yesterday, I introduced the world to “Checks Mix.” Today, I introduce you to this VHS tape I found of “Esteban.” He’s going to teach me to play classical guitar.

You can see the tear in my eye just thinking about "Greensleeves." Or maybe it's my herpes.

Now, I don’t have a guitar in here, so I’ve been using a rubberband. Also, I only have volume 5 of Esteban, so I largely had to make up what I thought might be in volumes one through four. The only thing I do have is a VHS tape player I found. Esteban’s rendition of “Greensleeves” is a real tear jerker. And so, I wax poetic on my endeavors. Eh hem…

Guitars have six strings

Repertoire is limited

Because I have one.

Esteban, Greensleeves.

A rousing combination.

Grass stains are so sad.

Why are your sleeves green?

Stained from rolling in the grass?

Be sure to pre-treat.

I will continue to update.

Love,

Crepes.

  • Let’s hear your chops, Crepes! If you need any help with the classical guitar, our daddy is quite accomplished at it. But he doesn’t have any DVDs like Esteban… Good luck surviving your exile.
