Are you ready? Hold it with your chin. <br />This is a game that you will win. <br />It won't be easy, now stand up straight. <br />Come on now, I know your fate. <br />Hold out your arm and grip the scroll. <br />Let's take a break from rock and roll. <br />Fingers hover, get ready to reach. <br />This instrument is no stroll on the beach. <br />Reach far, crank it! Just like mine. <br />Stand up straight, now let's begin. <br />Easy with the right, gentle on the strings. <br />It won't break, see how it sings? <br />I'll guide you this time, hand over hand. <br />Why so red? You're sweating like band. <br />Relax to make music. Fine! Rest your arm. <br />Don't lift your bow, it will work like a charm. <br />Me play a song? Ok, just one. <br />Your turn now, I told you this was fun. <br />BTW, you might be sore tomorrow. <br />An ice pack you may need to borrow. <br />But tonight, you did it! Far from begin. <br />'I want to die! ' You're playing the violin!<br /><br />Sandra Regan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/playing-the-violin/
