THE BASSOON GIRLS

Four girlfriends played the bassoon,
But, their friendship would be ending soon,
For three of them would have despair,
Because only one could be first chair,

All four girls practiced every night,
From supper time until the light,
One day they played for the contested chair,
All the music teachers listened with care,

But, three of them hit many foul notes,
The one that didn't got all the votes,
Now, the three losers their friendship has grown,
While the first chair girl sits in first chair alone.
