The Great Conductor Takes a Bow
The Great Conductor Takes a Bow
By Elton Camp
Some people get far more credit than due
And, to them, unmerited honors accrue
An orchestra conductor is one of this ilk
Those who actually perform he does bilk
Really, about the conductor I don’t care
Likely, they’d as well if he wasn’t there
It seems when the music starts to play
He waves his hands in an erratic way
If he should have untamed, wild hair
The more that the audience will care
The music stops & his hands go down
To the audience he will then turn around
And proceeds, to clapping, to take a bow
As if he did the classic music somehow
An uncultured hillbilly I may well be
But he looks like a big phony to me
