what a raucous din what a disturbance
it had not seemed to be at peace

why the necessity to be anti-social

it was such a bother passing by

it would best be summed up as a circus

not the usual one for kids to have fun

but a derogatory description a menace

there was music blaring of differing sounds

from varied kinds of instruments 

punctuated with shouts or loud laughter

reminiscences of childhood happenings

upon passing the quaint little house

fast forward ten years on what a wonder

a mansion with all the trimmings of success

of occupants given to triumphant callings

of accomplished musicians and music

soothing to the ears to be admired

so this was how it was growing up

with little boys and girls in the vicinity

bent on making music as a career

focussed on a direction unencumbered

but seeing sweat and tears translated

in later years to be makers of the arts
