A Visit from Ebony & Ivory'Twas the
ight of the concert, and all through the
house,
The audience sat waiting - there was even a
mouse!
The coats were all hung on the back of the
chair,
In hopes that the artists soon would be
there;
The kids were settled, all snug in their
seats,
'Cause after the concert, they'd get some
treats.
And mom in her make-up and I in my tux,
Had just settled down for a concert
deluxe,
When up on the stage there arose such a
clatter,
I sprang from my seat, to see what was the
matter.
Away to the edge of the stage in a
flash
I flew, peeked under the curtains, and
gasped!
The lights up above with an eerie, blue
glow,
Gave a luster of midday to objects
below;
When what to my wondering eyes should
appear,
But four artists preparing to use lots of
gear,
With a clarinet, a piano, a bass and some
drums,
I knew in a moment, Ebony & Ivory had
come.
More rapid than eagles, those artists they
came,
And they laughed as they warmed up and I
knew their names:
Now Andrew on keyboards and Chris on the
bass,
Gordon on drums and Fred with his case
Of clarinets and saxes and other such
stuff -
I saw at a glance that they had enough
To give us a concert - oh my, what a
treat.
I turned on my heel and went back to my
seat.
The curtain arose - Ebony & Ivory was
there
Dressed all in fancy from their feet to
their hair.
Their eyes, how they twinkled! Their smiles
how merry!
The music they started, and good it
was - very!
The songs were amazing - these guys were
pros.
Goodwill and joy in the audience arose.
The evening flew quickly; we all wanted
more,
So Ebony & Ivory gave us an encore!
The concert was over, but as we left the
hall
We wanted to say on behalf of us all,
"Thanks for the music this wonderful
night,
It gave us such pleasure - it was out of
sight!"
And now we can shout it for all folks to
hear,
"Bring back these musicians to our town
next year!"
(With thanks and apologies to Clement C.
Moore)
