“Your playing is way out of tune,”
\nThe conductor informed the bassoon.
\n“All your high notes are sharp,
\nAnd I don’t mean to carp,
\nBut you sound like a horny baboon”.<\/p>\n
The bassoonist replied, “Sir, your ear
\nGets progressively worse ev’ry year,
\nAnd your cues are all wrong,
\nSo we just play along
\nAnd pretend your baton waving’s clear.”<\/p>\n
