Musical Limericks Again: The Bassoon

A muso who played the bassoon
Was a woeful and sad-looking loon
He wanted to doze,
Had a sore blocked up nose, and could
NOT hear to play things in tune. 

BASSOON OR OBOE?

Until you can make a good reed,
You'll spend far more cash than you need;
But despite months of trying,
There is no denying -
It's a very tough challenge indeed.

Musical limericks no.1

The Flautist

A student who tootled the flute

Confessed to adoring the lute

But she got her wires crossed

When her music was lost

And could not tell Mudarra from Poot 

The Oboist

The oboist played somewhat loud

Because he was working the crowd

When the reed gave a squawk

They were all set to talk

But the fella just stood there and bowed.

 

 The Clarinettist

A girl bought a gold clarinet

But it led to her drowning in debt,

So the kind soul who taught her

Drew cash out and bought her

A soup and a sandwich at Pret.
