Only Kiss Can Tell a Flute
A sculpted form looking so cute,
Only when kissed flatters as flute.
To him that knows not to play how,
Far better may sound an owl's hoot.
Metaphors thrown in for a wow,
A meter force-fitted in foot;
Or be it a classical cow
Dressed dandy, shaggy and hirsute,
Or an ascetic wearing jute,
Know this well know it absolute--
If a man's musically mute,
How'd help even a finest lute?
So, should ye reap the finest fruit,
Go invest in its very root.
