In response to The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge Trio:
This trio is banded together,
By musical ties you can sever …
(Though squeakers they be,
Harmoniously,
Which is, I suppose, very clever.)
And talking of trios, I wrote some of those,*
And these are the instruments three that I chose,
A piano for order,
An Alto recorder,
And violin simply to get up your nose.
*This is the latest here.
Men who on this here cast a stare
Will all be observing a pair –
For on ground only two;
Third’s a gone-a-head view …
Keep abreast – geese, not tits, are birds there!
A tree-t-meant of trios in trees
Tree-mendously tree-sured are these:
The tree-limb-inaries
Show in-tree of fairies,
All tree-bly eager to please.
A trio is a lumberjack?
But understanding you may lack:
In Afrikaans, ‘ou’
Is some bloke that you know –
If a trio, he’s OK a stack!

They are adorable little things. We had a rescued one once with a passion for condensed milk. When given some he would emit a series of musical chirps.

I don’t believe you… I want to see you playing all three instruments simultaneously… Where’s the proof? 😀 :D:D

*indignantly* Just click on the link to my trio, and listen! Piano done by me and violin by myself, and I did the recorder part, too! For that, it took me a lot of practice to get those notes smoothly above two octaves, and it was quite a relief when any of the instruments do solo bits.

Mm… ok then. Wait a minute… some of your instruments played solo? Must be gifted instruments to do that! 😉 That’s how you manage them all simultaneously… now it make sense! 😀

A triumph of trios, even tough it’s a quartet!

I do hope everyone got the Monty Python reference in the Sarf Efrican one, though. Maybe I should have spelt it out more.

Lovely collection of trios and rhymes, Col. Cute Mongoosteers. 🙂

Can’t go wrong with mongoosikins and Egyptian goosikins – more of the latter collected today!

Some excrutiatingly lovely puns here. I bought my recorder at a Vide Grenier ( empty loft) for one euro, to help fill the void left by my departed piano and clarinet.
Tri ond keep up, Viv.

There might be some debate on the ‘lovely’!
I am getting a bit ridiculous with instruments. My downsized piano joined the existing full range of recorders from sopranino to bass, my harmonicas, and my two violins and clarinet. Then I added a guitar, and this week I purchased a 54-note keyboard. Lunacy.

A man after my own heart – I only have to see an instrument to want to play it, even though nowadays it’s more wishful thinking than realisable.
