Music

A musical voice from the piano,
hear the cheers of the bells.
Hit the heads of the drums,
hear their tummies rumble.

Hear the sorrow of the violins,
or the happiness of the silver tins.
Anger of the cymbals,
laughter of the tambourine.

Together these make music,
as soft as the flapping wings of a butterfly,
or loud like the stomping of a giant.
it can make you sleepy like a snoring sloth,
or awake and energetic like a monkey.
What does music make you feel?
