Broke Baroque

A museum planned a concert with their Baroque instruments,

But then they saw the gadgets needed care for the event,

A great Vivaldi violin and a harpsicord of Bach’s,

The keyboard needed tuning and the violin had pox.

And all the others needed even more of urgent care,

And so they called the specialist to help with the repairs,

The man looked them all over (and there really were a bunch),

He said, “Where should I start? And know, I won’t be done by lunch!”

Director looked at him and said, “When you’re making all your picks…”

“Our rule for this concert? If it ain’t Baroque, don’t fix!”

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week's post might smell a bit,

But 'Compost', sure, will be a hit!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!
