My school just did something

They just added music class

Honestly, I’m very musically inclined

I grew up singing songs

The oldies my dad played

Anyways, we had every instrument

Some were old, some new

Guitars galore and majestic pianos

But the one I noticed

That really caught my attention

The xylophones they brought in

They’re kinda used and old

Of course they looked xanthic

Maybe bleach will clean them

I took mallets to then

Still played just like new

Majestically dinged through the class

Everyone else tuned their instrument

The teacher started the count

And the symphony played on

performance poetry
