Today is Clarinet Day;
Well,
at least that’s what I heard.
I
played it once but it was not
The
choice I’d have preferred.
In
school, fifth graders were assigned
An
instrument for band.
The
girls all wanted flutes,
Which
you can surely understand.
Though
some were lucky, I was not
Among
the chosen few
And
so I played the clarinet,
Not
much that I could do.
I
never got the hang of it
And
quit in junior high,
But
joined the chorus, since my voice
Would,
with the tunes, comply.
I
hope all clarinetists
Can
perform a bit today.
May
their inner Benny Goodmans
Chase
all naysayers away!
