Cliffy Casino had a drumset with Tom-toms. And Cymbals. And Cymbal-toms. And Tom-Cymbals. And Cymbal-cymbals. And Kick-toms. And Tom-kicks. And Tom-toms. And Casino Snares. And a Foot Drum. And feet. And petals. And pedals. And Cymbal-Pedals.

Cliffy Casino had a CD’s-worth of Cars-Going-By Sounds that Cliffy Casino would play out loud. He’d play them out loud on his Boomboxes. His Boomboxes were tied together with twine. Cliffy Casino’s twine spools were labeled “Drums and Cymbals Twine”...

even though twine has nothing to do with drums. (!)

...So Cliffy Casino would get his Boomboxes going together. His Boomboxes would play the sounds of Cars-Going-By. Cliffy Casino had recorded the sounds of Cars-Going-By onto a CD. And then he copied his first CD to make more CDs for a couple of the other Boomboxes.

Some of the cars Cliffy Casino had recorded on his CD were fast. Some of the cars Cliffy Casino had recorded on his CD were slow. Some of the cars Cliffy Casino had recorded on his CD were just right.

Some of the cars Cliffy Casino recorded were green. And all of the cars Cliffy Casino recorded were red. And none of the cars Cliffy Casino recorded were red.

...So Cliffy Casino would sit at his drums. He’d sit at his Tom-toms, his Cymbals, his Cymbal-toms, his Tom-Cymbals, his Cymbal-cymbals, his Kick-toms, his Tom-kicks, his Tom-toms, his Casino Snares, his Foot Drum, his feet, his petals, his pedals, and his Cymbal-Pedals...

He’d sit there and he would listen to his CD of Cars-Going-By. Or... Well, I should his CDs... He had three copies. He had three copies for his five total Boomboxes. Cliffy Casino would pick his top three Boomboxes to play his CDs. He had three favorites:

Cliffy Casino loved the Boombox with the Hugest Sound.

Cliffy Casino loved the Boombox with the Loudest Song.

And Cliffy Casino liked the Boombox covered in water.

By the time Cliffy Casino had really had the chance to listen to his CDs, he was ready to play along. Boomboxes humming, Cliffy Casino would take up his drumsticks. And then he would cheer on the Car Sounds with Drum Tones.

Thumb! Click! Clack! Swish! Tick! Tick! Clumb!

Bough! Boughhhhh! Thumb!

Bough!

Bough! Bough! … Bough!

Next, Cliffy Casino says: “Hey, the Bough drum is really sounding tonight!”

Cliffy Casino followed the Bough idea to his backyard. He only had one tree. Cliffy Casino's Pear Tree stood in the middle of a simply-put backyard. Cliffy Casino’s scene was lined and squared-away by an unpainted fence.

And. You’ve Got to Be Kidding. All of the Pears had fallen off the tree.

My best guess: Cliffy Casino got so carried away that he forgot to pick the ripe fruit! Lazy Cliffy Casino!

‘Anyways, this is an easy fix. I know it. "Pears on the ground" isn’t a good enough reason to throw in the towel.'

...In order to move past everything, though, Cliffy Casino had to use his “Drum and Cymbals Twine” as “Pear Twine”. Cliffy Casino tied the fruits back into place on the tree. He tied Red CDs, Blue CDs, Green CDs, Silver CDs, and CDs to some of the boughs as an apology for forgetting about the fruit. He tied the CDs to the tree because he forgot to put pears in his bucket!

Cliffy Casino’s Pear Tree started really dancing to the CDs swaying in the wind, too. Tony the Pear Tree (Cliffy Casino’s Pear Tree) loved the cool and free sound of recorded Car Sounds.

Finally, think of what a guy named Cliffy Casino might look like seated behind an unbelievable amount of drums that are almost real. Not too far away from where your looking at that picture... there’s a Pear Tree. Thank you Cliffy Casino!
