Churchill Daffodils And Lipstick








Chord and Cadence formed a string quartet
with the Busoni Boys
set sail in a beautiful legato boat
in search of tierce de picardie
an island in the Sonata sea

Major 3rd won it in a poco game from his cousin crescendo
now diminuendo'd and rallentando'd from too much vino and vivace

Musicians lived there exclusively once but were exiled to the isle of appogiatura
for creating dissonance too many disputes between the neapolitan 2nds and the french 6ths

Appogiatura was run by Barbra Seville and Bessie May Mucho
two heavily made up mime artists with beehive hairdos who painted all the buildings daffodil yellow and lipstick pink as a tribute to Winston Churchill who provided them with little
luxuries during the war

Noisy counter tenors and prestissimo partying
caused complaints from neighbouring islands
Barbra Seville and Bessie May Mucho were not fussed as long as as boat loads of daffodils
and lipstick arrived regularly from the mainland to boost morale

On reaching tierce de picardie the cadential 6/4 quartet sat on the beach and pizzicato'd on their fiddles watching the fireworks shoot star bursts from nearby appogiatura party isle
The Busoni boys secret party animals sub ponticello con brio planned to escape
crammed their violin cases with tutti and brass
very eager to rendez-vous with the gorgeous grace note girls
Candy wrapper,Courtney Act and Fairy Moans
