Dilemma

I bought a new wind chime,

A for-myself treat

And think it looks lovely,

Its melody sweet.

But where should I hang it?

It’s windy today

So it will sound dulcet

As tree branches sway.

Yet when I’m in the house

And it’s dangling outside, 

I won’t hear it at all

So I have to decide

If perhaps I should hang it

Indoors, where I’d swat it

To hear its sweet music,

‘Cause that’s why I got it.

Still, that would defeat

Its true purpose by name,

For chiming in wind 

Is its one claim to fame.

That settles it! I’ll find

A branch on a tree

Where, when coming or going,

That sweet sound will be.
