The Irish pipe band played Amazing Grace 
Their drum major showed his skills with the mace
In the air he threw it
But misjudged and blew it
When it came down and hit him in the face...

Good Morning Tom. This entry was a lot of fun. It reminded me of high school days as well with the majorettes. You gave us a fun moment in time. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you Lindsay, I was in a band and our drum major dropped his mace in the Lord Mayor's procession, an embarrassing moment. Tom

That photo you posted says it all. Much humor and creativity in this write, Tom. Too much Guinness? The best beer in the world (for me)! All the best.
