Over the Moon

Hey diddle diddle
I don’t play the fiddle
But I do love to tinkle the keys
I play them with ease
Will you sing along, please?
The classics or a hip hop rock tune
But don’t get me wrong
My kids strum along
And the vibrations will shake up a room
The guys in my house
Shut their ears to my Strauss
While guitars knock the socks off the gloom
One plays the drums, the whole neighborhood hums
Though it might bring the cops on the run
Our little dog laughs
To hear such a blast
As our tunes travel over the moon

                                   ----
