男人當如是確時瘋狂

祝福新年快樂

原文帶有濃厚的美國南方色彩: 搖搖擺擺吹喇叭的葬禮, 一堆哭天喪地的親友.

還有稱女人mama, 自己是(sugar) daddy.

谷歌一下. 果然,

 wiki- He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form called jazz poetry. 

真的輕鬆有趣~

大眾情人的願望! 連死後都要來一場轟趴。

這首詩配合原詩讀起來會更有味道：

As Befits a Man    - by Langston Hughes

I don't mind dying - 

But I'd hate to die all alone!

I want a dozen pretty women

To holler, cry, and moan.

I don't mind dying

But I want my funeral to be fine:

A row of long tall mamas

Fainting, fanning, and crying.

I want a fish-tail hearse

And sixteen fish-tail cars,

A big brass band

And a whole truck load of flowers.

When they let me down,

Down into the clay,

I want the women to holler:

Please don't take him away!

Ow-ooo-oo-o!

Please don't take daddy away!

原來美國人也興這一套

除了風光場面

還要呼天搶地、有叫無淚

這首詩表達的是男人在死後希望有成群的美女哭號著送行！

日本也有種行業專門為男人死後服務的，就是在男人死後每年

生日時，派美女到墓前欽泣獻花，讓不知情的男士羨幕不已！

不知有沒有格友響往此種詩情畫意啊！
