Dilemma

I bought a new wind chime,
A for-myself treat
And think it looks lovely,
Its melody sweet.

But where should I hang it?
It’s windy today
So it will sound dulcet
As tree branches sway.

Yet when I’m in the house
And it’s dangling outside, 
I won’t hear it at all
So I have to decide

If perhaps I should hang it
Indoors, where I’d swat it
To hear its sweet music,
‘Cause that’s why I got it.

Still, that would defeat
Its true purpose by name,
For chiming in wind 
Is its one claim to fame.

That settles it! I’ll find
A branch on a tree
Where, when coming or going,
That sweet sound will be.
