The Music Family

Merry trumpet, sassy saxophone 
Stand poised in the quaint jazz room,
waiting on their music men
to begin their heartfelt tunes.

Bold drums awaiting patiently
For slim sturdy wooden sticks,
to beat rhythm on their tummies 
and give all fun loving kicks.

Great tuba's vigorous chiming voice 
so deep and oh so grand!
Brings heart and soul and humor
To the jolly good brass band.

Round banjo with its steely strings 
gets plucked and strummed with joy
As it sounds those fun and lively tunes
that we hum and so enjoy.

Majestic piano's harmonic keys,
Tap melodious magnificient airs
Reverberating ubiquitously,
By the maestro graced with flair.


In delightful unison they permeate our souls,
These musical masters and their wares.
Give glory to our "Ultimate Composer",
Whose creations are so debonair.

Music to my ears, when read aloud, Susan. A cute one. I used to collect instruments as a hobby, but then I realized that piano was the only thing I really knew how to play ...
