Gigs

For those of you who aren't Musically au fait Let me describe to you How to set up gigs to play Despite your best efforts And the preparation done Inevitably some snag Will bite you on the bum You lug in all the gear It weighs a helluva lot Only to discover the stage Is the size of a table top Only a single power point Is available for you to use Leads are strung up everywhere To trip on as you choose Tension is running high As a preliminary strum Causes feedback squeals But the worst is yet to come... The mics are on the blink The lightings really dim Someone breaks a string It's pandemonium!
