When asked, 'If the orchestra conductor
had made an effort more concerted
not to miss the concert
and a sordid scene averted,
would he have been less disconcerted?'
"Don’t ask me, I’m only the drummer,"
replied I in chagrin.
And, altho' the name of my favourite band
is the one I am currently in,
I do like the sound of the moniker, 'Big Ben,'
it's music to my ears and have to admit,
it has a certain ring to it."
As it appeals one feels it would sell well as a bell
(at fifteen point one short tons)
and wake everyone with its loud knell.
Cardinal is my moniker
I care not
Words are nothing
My tweet is pleasant.
Fresh birdseed in the feeder.
Succulent worms came out last night
I got them quickly
Slurped them up next to the marigolds
Night crawlers are so tasty
I preen as the dark ones come near
Looking for my mate
The hunt delicious
This is enough to satisfy me

He fretted some how, her name to disclose
This lass with a scent as sweet as a rose
Not such a hard task
He just had to ask
So the answer was right under his nose!
I share my first name with six kings,
Three presidents, and England's patron saint.
With my middle name, as Finbar,
If Irish, which i ain't
My surname's used by kings with rings,
To put their stamp on wax.
Also an aquatic mammal
Or in fact it can fill cracks.

Angry, vilest moniker
Defeater of peace
Harbinger of repression
Men assume what they don’t know
It holds me back from entering the sacred realm
Calm awareness
