Musical Limericks no.5

Tango for Tuba?


An old senorita on tuba
Commissioned a piece from Franz Gruber,
She got him quite merry 
On plenty of sherry
Then whisked Gruber and tuba to Cuba.

 "The number you're calling, knows ..."


A lady who played the trombone

Was prone not to answer the phone

"Well, I just cannot reach

When I'm trying to teach",

She explained, in a piqued, injured tone.
