Instrumental Consequences

A country boy inherited a fiddle,
he bought a banjo -
never played a note.

His skinny wife
could clog-dance up a storm.
A travelling accordion player
beguiled her
with his beautiful instrument.

He burned the fiddle and banjo.
Now the guy
listens to old-time music alone
on a wooden radio.
