To express my new-found love, I offer this humble poem, composed off the cuff and straight from mother Wit (hence the poor quality).
Ode to a Tin Whistle
I will not stop my whistle playing,
I will not stop, despite your praying.
I will not stop while at a light,
I will not stop without a fight.
I will not stop it in the rain,
I wil not stop it on a drain.
I will not stop it as I gray,
I will not stop, nay I say.
I will not stop my whistle playing,
I will not stop, so cease your praying.

I will not stop it in the John
I will not stop all night long.
Tom
I will not stop, though you cry
I will not stop, until I die

I will not stop, I am no fool
I will not stop, because it’s cool
Tom
I will not stop, while in school
I will not stop, for gold or jewel
I will not stop though I’m a sinner
I will not stop to make your dinner
Or
I will not stop though it is late
I will not stop and fill your plate

I will not stop, for green eggs and ham
I will not stop, a whistler I am
Tom
I will not stop it in the shower
It aids me with its musical power
I will not stop it in a plane
Tho it drives the crew insane
I will not stop it when I work
Tho on C&F, I will stop to lurk

I will not stop it in the car
I will play it near and far
I will not stop when on the trail
I’ll play when walking without fail
I will not stop it in the night
I will not stop when it is light
I will not stop, for dark or light
I will not stop, for fear or fright
I will not stop, I whistle as to my delight
I will not stop for dame nor skirt
I will not stop no matter the flirt
I will not stop, though I am soooooo desperately lonely.
I will not stop…even though I fear that no woman will ever love me. Why must I travel this world alone? I just want to be loved; is that so wrong?
Oh yeah…
I will not stop it for a bus,
I will not stop though you may cuss.

I will not stop, for love or money
I will not stop, even for my honey
I will not stop, even when I die
I will play, right where I lie
So as I lie where die, I play by whistle with both chiff and fipple. And in the beyond…
I will not stop, by heaven bound demand
I will not stop, by request of the dmn d
I will not stop to watch TV
I will not stop, so let me be!
If nicely you say stop, I then…
shall stop, say no, then play again

lol! This needed a laugh.
I will not stop for the phone
I will not stop - I’m not home
I will not stop - it’s just my friend
I will not stop, there is no end!
I will not stop, I hardly know him
And I think we cannot stop this poem!
If rude demands to stop are heard…
I’ll grab Eb and blow the third.
I will not stop to INSULT DALE
That would be beyond the pale
I will not stop to shake out the spit,
I will just play and let it drip
Cheers,
Kathy
And when my whistling makes you cranky,
wear some ear plugs please and thanky.
