TUBBY THE TUBA

Mid Week Motif  PU


she first saw this in a cinema
a tiny tot seated on her mother's lap

hearing tubby's sad tune
a  wave of wonder washed over her

from that moment her life - fuzzy and blurred
like overhearing muted conversations
from another room became sharply defined

tiny tot began to witness the world about her
with eyes and ears unzipped
tubby's tune had unleashed an artist early

the journey began right there
in that cinema
thank you mummy
(happy birthday  darling)

EPILOGUE

and No
she did not emerge
as a tuba player LOL
