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...
