best instrument of all

I play the best instrument of all the boy said
We guessed drums, guitar, sax, stated Ned
“No, no, no,” he shook his head
We were out of idea by the time we went to bed

I’ll bring it by and play you a tune
He finally showed up late afternoon
It is an accordion! We thought this funny
Until he started making decent money

It seems weddings and funerals pay big
For those who bring an accordion to a gig
Who knew this? Who would have believed that?
He is now living in splendor, our friend, Matt
