The Old Musicians
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
There was an old man from Juneau
Who played bluegrass tunes on the banjo.
He'd plinked at it all day
Whiling the time away
While his wife polished her halo.
Another old gent from Berlin
Liked to play a red mandolin.
He'd sing old folk songs
While his wife played mahjongg
and dreamed of the sweetest of sins.
Another dude from Kalamazoo
Like to play classical kazoo.
The three made a trio.
They sang up in Rio
'til their wives taught 'em the blues.
