Mozi'nMe
original watercolor w/Mozart/horn/violin: 10" x 14"
The French Conundrum
The French Horn is happy
Wherever it plays
From Woodwinds and Brass
To the Strings with such class.
Yes, the instruments agree
That it’s sound does so please.
And most of the time
The horn is quite amiable
But it can get unruly
And downright unplayable!

The Muse
original watercolor with horn/Beethoven bust: 15" x 18"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if horn playing
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

Horns*R*Us/WasMe
original watercolor french horn: 10" x 14"
Conch en Fa
There once was seashell named Conch
Who was lonely and displeased with his lot
So he puffed out his cheek
Buzzed a low mellow screech
Now he’s part of the rock group “Conch-crete”

original watercolor horn: 10" x 14"
Quints Jam
the woodwind quintet
is surprised and upset
that a brass french horn-et
is allowed on their set
while the woodwinds complained
the french horn explained
that his rich rounded sound
kept the woodwinds anchored down
so they threw up their hands
made a quick change of plans
and that’s how it began
for the woodwind “Quints Jam”!

Going Solo
The horn stands alone
Not lost or forlorn
Just a confident fellow
Shiny outside
Inside, mellow.
Its song, so melodious
With notes that do soar
But can be quite odious
When notes don’t sound sure
One thing’s for certain
With a rising stage curtain
The horn likes to play
In a most excellent way!

Hi Anthropology
original watercolor musical motif w/horn, shells: 15" x 17"
Bobbie Corno
an alias don’cha know
doesn’t tiptoe around
like others he’s found
but plays out right proud
and oft’ times quite loud
‘cause really, why doubt
and fumble about
with 16 feet of tubing
and a bell worthy of spewing
forth plenty of sound
more beauteous, unbound
than others, hands down

Horn of Note
original watercolor horn: 10" x 14"
Chicken Tricks
You cannot be chicken
If you play french horn
Unless you are thinkin’
You’d like a good lickin’
‘Cause that horn can balk
And sound out a squawk
And Beethoven rolls over
As you head for cover
