The Broken Bow
Now I should have been more careful- I know, I know.
One lesson and two practices; that’s all it had taken.
There was no warning at all, not even a slight crack,
It happened so suddenly I was taken aback!
So shocked was I;
To see it was now completely snapped,
I noted sadly to pay closer attention next go,
For I had just gone and broken my brand new bow.
T’was a good thing I had kept my old, warped bow.
Putting aside my shock and surprise,
I feigned indifference and shrugged it away.
Nothing I could do about it, at least I would still be able to play.
But forever I will regret the day I snapped my new violin bow.
