Musically Inclined/Horn, Beethoven Bust
original watercolor still life with horn, Beethoven Bust: 22"w x 18"h
Chicken Tricks
You cannot be chicken
If you play french horn
Unless you are thinkin’
You’d like a good lickin’
When that horn does balk
The right note, it squawks
And Beethoven rolls over
As you shrug your shoulder

The Poem, The Work
Beethoven First
which comes first
the notes, the words, the work?
what comes next
the painting or the text?
was that horn, upset forlorn
‘til Ludwig’s motive was born
...da da da dum...
o -oh Ludwig knew
the horn could play the tune...
roll over Beethoven
the horn defers to you

Sophie’s Victory
Sophie came by
With that look in her eyes
She was on a mission
To get the commission
We turned on our tunes
Ahh.
Music filled the room
Was that Ludwig V
And Wellington’s Victory?
A recording so rare
It’s almost never played
On the air, or anywhere
Sophie said, “ Hey, let’s stop rambling
We gotta get scrambling
We’ve a horn to paint
And Beethoven’s face
Before we get bored
Exhausted or faint!”
She was anxious and ready
to set a fast pace
I said slow and steady
will win this race
Sophie just sighed
And rolled her beautiful
Big blue eyes
Alright, okay
You get your way.....
We’ll let you all know
When the work’s fit to show!

Pepper Policy
original watercolor still life with peppers: 14"w x 11"h
Stew For Two
the policy of peppers
is to never be schleppers
to keep up with the pack
else they end up lying back
in a rich Brunswick Stew
that's gonna be ready
in a minute or two

Poppy Politics
and the poppy said
to the pitcher and the egg
can’t we all just try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along today
‘cause that is the better way
to live in harmony
whether left or right we be...

Pepper Patter

Patter Chatter
pitter patter
pepper chatter
what’s the news
and latest reviews
who just got sacked
was told to get packed
and leave with his knives
despite all his cries
yes, you know the show
we watch from our bowl
and grateful are we
‘cause we’re posers, see
our owner just paints
so we’ll not be braised
nor found on your plates!

Rose Red
original watercolor floral/rose: 8"w x 10"h
What Women Want
does a rose
tell the tale
of romantic soft nights
or a let’s make-up plea
for that last petty fight
either way
I think I speak
for the many choc’late freaks
just give me a brownie
or rich home-made fudge
and I’ll give you more
than a kiss and a hug!

Musically Inclined/Horn
original abstract musical motif watercolor/horn: 14"w x 11"h
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 muffle about
with 16 feet of tubing
and a bell worthy of spewing
forth plenty of sound
more beauteous, unbound
than others hands down!

Kazoo for You
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!

Things Strings Sing
do strings
have wings
‘cause they’re glorious things
do they sing
as they cling
to the bow as it flows
o’re the bridge
if you please
with the greatest of ease
or
do they screech
as they seek
that high note on the staff
do they laugh
at the thought
of the job they just lost...
