Twenty button gift
Push and pull most confusing
Chords and melody
A musical harmony
Wrapped in concertina love
(My concertina finally arrived! Thought I’d play Drunken Sailor right away but no, it’s Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until I learn the chords. Arrrrgggghhhh, me hearties, what fun!)
Seems the concertina I ordered in May is trekking around Asia or Europe
Wrote this “song” and will try to chord it when the instrument is here 😀
(song-in-progress)
I’m pretending you love me
As magic thoughts strike
Like old days of herb-picking
When like would cure like
Some days I dream of shaking you
Like a prophetic eight ball
Ask you a question
Penetrate your brick wall
Like a recalcitrant concertina
I push and pull
But deep down I think
I’m just an old fool
So if I pretend you love me
Ten times a day
Like healing roots and leaves
Love me back, you may
