Musical limericks no.10 (GO VOCAL)

It's the singers' turn ...

The Highs

A cute little Scottish soprano

First encountered her spouse in Milano,

So they cancelled her flight

And were up half the night

Singing amorous songs at the piano.

And the Lows

The contralto said "Bonnie Dundee"

Would suit her range better in C;

But when asked to transpose,

Her accompanist froze;

checked his diary, and croaked, "I'm not free!"

Schwarzkopf (shampoo) anyone?

A vain, image-conscious young tenor

Said hair products packaged for men, or

For family use

Using fruit-fragranced juice

Were not nearly as luscious as henna.

From the valleys

A baritone lad from Caerphilly

Said Strauss operette were silly;

A La Scala role

Was his ultimate goal,

Via Glyndebourne or first, Piccadilly.
