The Magic of Music

The trumpet blows
Starts tapping toes
People start to sing

The drummer drums
The guitarist strums
The place begins to swing

The music entrances
Encouraging dancers
To get up on the floor

They wriggle and writhe,
Tango and Jive
Some just clap or sway

Everyone's moving,
Laughing while grooving
Why do we act this way?

Why is music,
So therapeutic?
Affecting one and all,

A sense of Rhythm
Is God-given
Which makes life a ball.
