Leaves last only for one season

With his ever-changing
insatiable curiosity for detail,
at one point Mr Honk wished
to explore clefs on the staff
and chord progressions,
but if he had learnt anything
from his last music teacher,
it’s that the most humble
might easily turn out to be
the malevolent one.

No wonder he played
Le Carnaval des animaux
as a ‘largo doloroso’
with a perfect smile.
