Trumpet Man

There was a trumpet man.

He played his trumpet all the time.

He had a horn which he touted;

he loved to blow that horn.

He played his trumpets so loud that

he could hear no one else but

himself

he marched on by himself

with his trumpet blowing loudly on

on and on

and people watched and they talked

but he could hear not a word

as he blew his trumpet in their ears.
