Contrabassoon

Bassoon & Contrabassoon

The time for him was opportune
To practice his double bassoon
He thought that we would very soon
Enjoy his tune that afternoon

We don't mean to burst his balloon
Or his good music to impugn
And his great talent to lampoon
Contrabassoon it's just too soon

The 2 Contras

There is one point it's picayune
As solo it's inopportune
Except for once in a blue moon
It's best for bass and not the tune

It can be played for a platoon
An orchestra is opportune
Or in a band in a saloon
When it's played well we surely swoon
