Notes About The Poem

Image result for humorous pictures of banjo players playing

Banjo

Banjo

if you want to bruise your ego
try to learn the 5-string banjo

I’m trying to learn Scruggs style
and it definitely is a real trial

three fingered right-handed rolls
is a complete shock to my soul

getting the timing down
so, I don’t sound like a clown

somewhere old Earl is having a laugh
at every time I make a gaffe

if ever I get on stage to play
I would suggest everyone should pray

Yeah, it's a killer... I can't even play a single string. ~ Tender Fingers

LOL. Thanks for reading Gershon. I will stay away from Dueling Banjos. People will think I am from WVA
