Music by Design

A cello is weeping

   in my church today

Tears of sound plunk

    discordantly

Hitting both ears and

     floor with

A measured enervation

      that grates

Oh, I beg of you

     dear cellist

Bless us with what

       I know

Resides inside your

      wooden friend

Play us something just

      a bit less mournful

Allow if you would be

      so kind

Bach to retire now and

      perhaps Mozart

Or even Pachelbel could

      step up

And fill this space with

      music, sweet music
