The Choir Concert
cacophonously callow
the choristers are quacking
combining chords so shallow
the window-glass is cracking
the voices hit the ceiling
which longs to hit them back
the audience is reeling
and ready to attack
there’s nothing to have fun with
in this suite of un-beaux arts.
at last! at last it’s done with!
oh no! the encore starts!
