Violin Violence
How can something so mellow
Sound so scratchy in the wrong hands ?
How can a starting fellow
Be encouraged to stick to their plans ?
And not be lured away
By an easy piano with its separate keys –
How can we learn to play
If we never can go as sweet as we please ?
If we must have things like untuned strings,
Then the neighbours don’t need to hear.
If our notes are bums and our fingers thumbs,
Then we need some friendlier gear.
Yet the pros aren’t a piglet’s squeal,
Or the hinge on a rusty gate –
So how can a sound so real,
Be a sound so hard to create ?
