Harmony
For years I thought she was misnamed
her strident brogue voicing opinions
on all and sundry
perhaps a wee bit too loud
a little too often
But then I noticed that each time the radio
played some beautiful music
she would join in, her suddenly sweet voice
blending and harmonizing perfectly
with the orchestra
She’s always been thet way, her mother said
even as a tiny babe she would gurgle happily
and join in with the music. We couldn’t have
found a better name for her!
She’s a hoot, her husband said, dislikes organized
religion but when a choir starts singing she joins in
Would you believe it? Now she’s joined
the church choir, goes every week for practice
she sdoesn;t care about the pope
just loves the melodies of the hymns
