Musical Limericks no.7 (Strings)

The old violinist


The old chap who played violin
Was dreadfully, painfully thin;
And his delicate hands
Couldn't fold music stands,
Lest he damaged his papery skin.

Viola with Attitude


A posh gent who led the violas
Had solid gold put in his molars;
His flashy gold teeth
Lit the music beneath,
And set off his cape, gloves and bowlers.
