The Trumpet Blown
 
 
I went to a concert one night--- 
the church is across from my house--- 
it turned into quite a good fight: 
the horn versus everyone else.
 
Frank played every note very flat--- 
or sharp---he found all of the keys. 
The tones of those sounds he got out? 
You'd think that a foghorn had sneezed.
 
The orchestra wandered along, 
the chorus was actually good, 
apart from mute cursing of "Wrong! 
I'd staple his lips if I could".
 
These problems continued for years 
'til concerts in front of a Lord, 
who walked from the music in tears--- 
and Frank, he had put to the sword.
 
Such murder is highly improper; 
the Lord was convicted in court. 
But Judge was a music conductor, 
so fined him a bottle of port.
 
You'll find, when your life is complete, 
if down to the torment you've fell, 
Frank proving, for Satan's conceit, 
from National Anthems comes Hell.
