What a Clanger

The cymbals clanged
The drum boom boomed.
The pickle lowed
While the violin tuned

The trumpets drowned
The sound of the drum.
The conductor frowned
And cried for Mum

The fiddler fiddled
With his bow
The flautist giggled
Until she could not blow

The pianist played
Melodious and sweet
The conductor prayed 
As the musicians took their seat

As the conductor raised his baton with flare
Wondrous music filled the air
It was marvellous to see
The orchestra playing in harmony

Too much harm has been done lately world wide sadly. Harmony would be a very welcome change...
