A chiffer playing on his flute
(short attention span)-not very astute
found smoochy lips for octave second
highly effective-his playing’s fecund.
-No neighbor shrieking at shrill overtone,
no aural pain felt down to the bone
No chaotic echo/acrimonious squawk
-Extend and pucker to play that sucker!
Advice of Vallely
this boy ignored
'til Zounds! -
One day his ox was gored-
by shrieky octave
& ear pain substantial
and threat by neighbor of:
Revenge Detrimental!
Now its sweetness & light
in the land of the fluter
-puckery lips have sweetened the ether, and overtone-free the muse still muses, playing sweet
music while neighbor enthuses.
{I finally learned to extend lips, pucker them & focus the airstream for good high octave play! It sounds scandalous to play frequently with an extended focus pucker, and worse, to do it frequently and in middle age, but it improves my playing.
