O.k. folks here it is hot off the presses the ever popular Choir Poem:

 

 

THINGS I LEARNED IN CHOIR

(which have nothing to do with music)

 

 

When I joined the choir, I had no idea

Of the things that Id learn in the course of 2 years.

Oh, sure, theres the music and singing devout

But here are a few things they didnt tell me about.

 

In choir I learned that a ticks not a bug and

Neither is cricket;

A gold is for angels and blues like a ticket.

 

In choir I learned that seniors arent tops and juniors

Arent bottom;

And fulls give out ticks when your behaviors been rotten.

 

In choir I learned a probationers not a convicted felon

And you must protect your voice by limiting your yellin.

 

In choir I learned Monty Pythons not a snake

And making coffee with your Christmas ruffle

Would be a big mistake.

 

In choir I learned some doughnuts never show up (Peterson),

And the taste of others can make you throw up (O'Meara).

 

In choir I learned all sorts of things,

Mostly humorous bombs,

You know, the sort of stuff we cant tell our moms.

 

In choir I learned its festo, not festo

And Evensong is quite a big show.

And Christmas performances for ladies make your head dizzy

And light

And NO MATTER WHAT, the Choirmaster is ALWAYS RIGHT!

 

The memories will be with us, even if they later grow dim,

But we will never forget the daily lessons from Sir Jim.
