Gleanings From The Cutting Room Floor Tom's

Rating: 3.5


MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: MY REPLY TO WES AND
KELLY

PIANO

Costs more than a Grand
More keys than in Florida
Sounds like Shipping Firm

GUITAR

Duane Eddy's twang
I think Eric clapped on one.
Who plays? Brian May.

VIOLIN

Vanessa Mae ski?
Torquemada's last resort?
Upon the fiddle.

TUBA

To Ba... not to ba..
A big loud-mouth, just like me..
By Hamlet, the sheep.




DRUMS

Well, |I can't beat that.
Oft played by failed musicians.
Warning when distant.


BANJO

To stop McCarthy
Jon Ba. A mixed up old ram.
Duel for "Deliverance"

BAGPIPES

Lord Lovat's Lament.
Best heard through two thick ears muffs
Revenge of the Scots

HARP

You need pluck to play.
Far too many strings are attached
Heavenly music

Harp is brilliant! Best one I've read so far. Piano pretty good too. How fun! :)

It's been great. Wonder what those two mischief makers have planned next. Not your housework one. Couldn't top that! Tom

Ho Tom Proof that the English language was developed in old Blighty. I thought I sensed a comedian in you and when you let yourself go we struggle to keep up Welcome to the club of Poemhunter sillies.

As Wes would say, It hurts to be outdone. But you have made my day with these creative, intelligent verses. Too bad there isn't an 11 on the rating scale

Thought Deliverance was worth a mention. Great american Movie. One of my favourites, especially that duel. Incredible music.

I thought I came a poor third, looking at some of yours and Wes's. It's great fun but quite a challenge! Had to mention Lord Lovat, apparently my ancestor, who lost his head somewhat after Culloden!
