Short Tuba Poems

Poor Barron Trump was really upset
It seems his Dad would not buy a pet
He wanted Cuba
But Dad heard, "tuba"
Billionaires are as cheap as they get!...

When I was a was a boy in Heaven
Mom gave me a disc at seven

it was Chumbawamba
and I heard the tuba

Then one of them by eleven!

Sherry played a Cherry wood flute
shortly after she put down the lute.
the bands wildest little flirt
wearing those short flowered skirts
now the tuba points straight at her boobs....

There once lived a guy whose named was Bubba
Had a pet  Cocker Spaniel named Tuba
           Through party each new year
           That brought very much cheer
   Til’ he met bride online; moved to Cuba

Do I write in the third person 
or only in the first?

Do my ideas reign supreme 
or do other ideas work as well?

Do I know I’m always right 
or can someone else be right too?

Do I play solos only on my tuba  
or do I play in the band as well?

strolling,
       rambling
        along,
the
    world
      is alive
with
     sounds
and
      sights
here,
there,
     everywhere:
calling
   attention
   to
      itself
..look
    at me..
look..
come and see..

inspired by clip of Ralph Vaughan Williams Tuba concerto...

There was a man played the trombone

Who dreamed of a grand sousaphone

Tho' his weak embouchure

Made his low notes impure

His blowing sucked more than his tone.

He Played Sweet Music



he kept following her path of petals of roses in the sand
when he met her v in the beach he called out the marching band
the pianist in him played a few moves
but it was his tuba that got her groove
when he left the beach a crescendo of cloudburst hit land

night creeps steadily
adorned in dark velvet cape…
watching as men sleep

crickets sound their shrill
bullfrogs play tuba and base…
shooting stars display

day rolls in bright-bold
night in surrender recedes…
rays of gold invade

Oliver is a one-man band.
Has every instrument,
Can he play them all?
Yes, on clay, earth and in sand.

Can he play the tuba?
Maybe? Of course, I don’t really know.
Does he have a following?
Yes, in the valley way down below.

Do the mountain folk know him?
I would be surprised if they do not.
Oliver is eclectic and fun.
Best of all, he’s a musician self-taught....

going back to my pillow
not the ads on TV
I have no pain no gain

just a siesta waiting for fresh direct
delivery a slice of pizzas
and tapenade on toast

so erect for my age
will use the olive oil
and scratch my back

very basic just talk their language
and they will bring the oil
to share around the bloke

brushing my teeth a conundrum
ratatat the tuba for a parade
of mint and hydro peroxide...

Hi, Santa, I want a pile of North Pole snow
and I’d sure like to know if it’d be too hard
to make my present a fulltime body guard?
My big brother treats me bad, he’s so mean,
and I know he wrote you for a guillotine!
He does gross things with spit from his tuba
and always shoots me with his bazooka.
Please, a guard on the scene until I’m eighteen?

Sue played the tuba, the sax, drums and the horn.
You can play them in the field, next to the corn.
Her parents were not musical, which made her forlorn.
The scarecrow loved music though, his name was Thorn.

He fell in love with her, and her clarinet too.
Their relationship was a secret, according to Sue.
A tornado took Thorn and blew him to Kalamazoo.
This truly made his female musician feel lonely and blue....

musically
on the staff
f major treble

clef keeps me
with only one
note that is

B flat and so
maestro 
tap tap

tap your baton
attention
follow

ing his lead
i'm feeling
basso

filled up on
beans so
i'll be

a tuba
fragrantly
playing Rimsky

Korsakov
not even
thinking

of stopping
fingering
flight

not bumbling
the bumblebee
but the spit valve

will
need
drained

at
least
twice...

Lotta Fun
and Lutz Salchow
where out in the
lobby romancing.
She wore a Cot Gamoga
type skirt. Had all the guys
even Clemp looking
we told her to scram come back
tomorrow.
Her coach will need to tell
both they made the team
See was to
Whogga: Whogga for me..
The Tuba and the bass player
are here for rehearsal.
A fabulous night
for dancing!
I heard they had an indoor rink at
there home: but it's nothing
compared to thiis place!...
