THE MUSICIAN

Woozy-Wizzy-Tickle-Tum,
loved to bang his kettle-drum.
Until his friend Eddy said,
'Stop! It's going through my head!

Woozy-Wizzy-Tickle-Tum,
grew pale without his daily fun.
Even Eddy who'd got so mad,
could see Woozy, was very sad.

'Why don't you learn something else?'
Said Eddy, concerned for his friend's health.
'Maybe a violin, or even a guitar,
You can always play them, wherever you are.

Their music is sweet and full of joy'
But Woozy was born to be a Kettle-Drum-Boy.
The drum sat silent and gathered dust,
until Eddy said, 'Beat your drum, for it's clear, you must!'.
