PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM

Or not

 !!!!

 I’ve encountered many instruments

When young I thought were cute:

From violin to clarinet,

From glockenspiel to flute.

 

My brother mastered his guitar

And as he’d sing, I’m hum.

My sister’s only talent was

Loud banging on the drum.

 

At the time she had no rhythm,

After all, she was just four.

Mom quickly hid the drumsticks –

Sis played the drums no more.

 

Looking back now that I’m older,

From the music that we made,

I must admit that radio

Was the best thing that “I” played.

For Fun
