Tip the Scales ; Solfége attempt .

DO  is the mixture for my daily bread .

RE  is the beam of sun , on my head .

MI  , well ! I'm Seán and I write the odd poem .

FA..ther ,I am to our house and our home .

SO  as I reap , those wild oats , long ago .

Lá  is the Irish for day , as you know .

TI  is my tipple , last thing at night .

High DO  is the buzz , I get from this site ..



An attempt at Izzy's  solfége contest ..

    That is really neat, Sean, loved it. Just to let you know, SO supposed to be SOL, but perhaps you wrote it that way for the purpose of using 2 letters only. So, you are into music obviously. Do you play? Do you teach? What do you play? What do you teach? I play the piano and teach lessons from my home and I sing every Sunday. Also thank you for your comments on my poem. Here, in Southern California, I'm lucky, no winter. It's paradise weatherwise. :) Best wishes, Caroline.
