The Symphony

It's thoughtful and timid
as if it's not there
This symphony is composed
as if out of air
  
But movement and breath
is more than enough
To create fine music
Just look at this stuff!

Piccallos and trumpets
working in pairs
Violins and cellos
bows made of hair

The breath it is blowing
The bows they are throwing
The music is flowing

Cymbals are crashing!
Timpany bashing!
Tubas all laughing!
The conductor is thrashing!

The audience is dancing,
They're all on their feet!
They cannot sit still in the waves of the beat!

The balcony is shaking!
The seats are all quaking!
The neighbors are waking!
The people are taking
It all the way home
