The xylophone — such a grand idea

Guaranteed to delight both young and old

Musical notes with fanciful colors

Graduated over time with new hues and unique sizes

Shapes — odd dimensions and added

Alluring tempo and jingle

Even the most stone-cold stoic can’t ignore

For the xylophone will pleasantly distract

It’ll only take a moment

To transport you

From your cares

And worry

To a joyful — musical relief of

Something much better

But only if you’re willing to stop

And play the xylophone for just a little while.

Thank you for reading,

Barb Ann
