Modern Music!

\nIn Bindybandy on the Sand
\nThe Queen has formed a marching band
\nShe wants to win the Golden Bow
\nAt some quite famous music show
\nThe problem is no-one can play
\nThey only started yesterday!<\/p>\n
The Krummhorn section numbers six
\nAnd contrasts with four girls on sticks
\nThe Prince renowned for ten left thumbs
\nIs playing jazz on kettle drums
\nThe Queen herself shows off her skill
\nOn triangle and ostrich quill<\/p>\n
The Parrots make a mournful moan
\nWhile learning to play sousaphone
\nThe baboon with the reddish face
\nIs quite a star on double bass
\nBut nothing’s going to steal the show
\nFrom Nellie on the Piccolo<\/p>\n
Conductor James is more tone deaf
\nThan that old nutcase cricketjeff
\nWhose trombone tones will be employed
\n(Though truth to tell won’t be enjoyed)
\nRehearsal’s set for ten to eight
\nThe organists says she’ll be late<\/p>\n
The count begins, they’ll start on four
\n(Since Albert can’t count up to more)
\nThe sound they make is rather “new”
\nAnd maybe won’t appeal to you
\nWhen they strike up you’ll want to be
\nIn Umbleania by the Sea!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nBindybandy is a small Polynesian Kingdom in the Middle of Europe, sharing a
\nshort land border with New York State and New Zealand.
\nUmbleania (pronounced Ummm Bull Eh? nyeah) is a large mountainous country
\nliable to severe flooding, between Moscow and Texas, and well outside the range
\nof even the worst band in Bindybandy!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
