Maestro

The Maestro comes to play
With numerous things to say

Our dear classic friend the baton.
The guy who seldom keeps up drawn.

The Maestro comes to lead
When all of us simply read

My old friend the saxophone
Does nothing but whine and moan.

I do not blame such a poor soul.
We are always in control.

If only we get to stand out 
In a crowd where they’ve no doubt

The Maestro comes out to choose
A fabled folk with nothing to lose

Contacts, contacts, his contacts
That’s what it’s all about. Facts 

No wonder why the second rate
Such standards are not up to date.
