Musical Submarine

Musical submarine 
Down South
John Lennon, toilet paper and comb
Hendrix put down his guitar
Hummed and sang  rrrr, brrr, dooo

Ride of the Valkyres
At the Royal Albert Hall
Nearly four thousand players 
What a buzz in the place
Good vibrations

Alabama Vest
Warren Herbert Frost
George D Smith
Africans before them
Ceremonial noises
Mirliton and membramophone
Exhibited at a dedicated museum

A Kazoo

Jack Horne for Nette’s Sound Madness contest
