Musical Chairs
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

A symphony cellist named Kate
\nShares her stand with a man, once her mate.
\nThough they play well in sync,
\nShe thinks him a fink
\nAnd longs for his move out of state.<\/p>\n

But orchestra jobs are quite rare,
\nAnd he can’t find a gig on a dare.
\nSadly, neither can she,
\nSo together they’ll be
\nMaking music. At least she’s first chair.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook<\/a>, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
