A woman who works shucking corn
Tells jokes that are Iowan born
Just lend her an ear
And you're bound to hear
How colonels can milk a French horn...

ten trumpeter swans
making a French horn-like call
white noise of snowfall

French horn rehearsal
swimming among river reeds
Alaskan concert

Praises to the one, that allowed me, to be born,
My father in Heaven, why do many scorn,
I believe your Holy honor, will be reborn.
I praise thee, up high, hearing a French horn.
To you My Lord, my faith, my soul, is sworn.

I tried to ply 
    the golden 
French Horn 
when 
I
was 
younger
   I took lessons 
and emptied 
      saliva 
      from 
      it 
I even tried out for 
   the college orchestra 
Don't have my golden French Horn anymore 
Don't have much gold 
   either 
But I love to hear 
       the French horn 
in orchestras 
   and in rock and roll bands 
It is a marvelous 
         instrument 
and I am proud that I 
   tried to play it...

I think once again you 
will be able to write as imaginatively 
as J.R.R and as humorously as Woody Allan
I have read both of their work and enjoyed it
So writers - pick up your pens!!
As for me I am hetero 
Yes, I am a NY Giants fan! 
I know some want the sport banned
But it is good for male bonding
I used to march down the field 
playing the French Horn
Only problem was 
it was too difficult an instrument to play
It is beautiful when played well
So is poetry when written well!...
