Answer:

Your answer would be something along the lines of a style of jazz.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know the exact answer choices, or the full poem, but I looked it up. In the poem, the writer says things like "daddy" in order to hint at the jazz era. The artistic language used also hints at this.
