Dueling Would Be Violins
The vegetable orchestra was about to play
Fred and Ted had to have their way
Both the same, stubborn twins
These two dueling string bean violins
“I’m the lead violin” said Fred
“No you’re not” said violin Ted
“My strings are taught and so fine”
“So what” said Fred, "so are mine"
“And you’re warped in the middle”
“Get lost” said Ted,
“You’re just a second hand fiddle”
“I'm as good as a Stradivari, don’t you know?,
And I have the finest bow”
“That doesn’t matter, you’re still a buffoon,
Oh, and you’re always out of tune”
“Look I’m lead violin, I won’t be thwarted”
An angry Fred String bean, retorted
The argument went on, it never diminished
Until the concert was over and finished
So who won?, that’s another story
Roger the roobarb stole all the glory
For contest 'Show Me The Funny'
