An Ode to My Oboe

Squeaking, squawking like a bird,
Not caring if it is heard.
This instrument takes a risk,
The conductor goes, "tisk, tisk"
When the rest are done with the show,
The oboe doesn't seem to know.
It keeps all the notes flying,
Someone thinks a duck is dying.
And finally they think it's done,
But tomorrow still brings more fun.

  4. Have you ever noticed that some fire alarms sound like a dying duck? Just a random thought! I really like this poem because you chose sort of a dry topic and made it into something funny and unique! Great job! I would have liked to see it be longer though. I really enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. I felt you cut it a little short.
