Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

Xylophone

I like to play my Xylophone
Whenever I get the urge at home
I while away the hours on my own 
It puts me in my happy zone 

But then I bought a microphone 
And that made the neighbours moan 
Complaining to me on the phone 
To insulate with Styrofoam 

Since they don't enjoy my dulcet tone 
I said I'd give it up in order to atone 
But vengeance is sweet and mine alone... 
So instead I bought a Vibraphone
