I’ve had a brilliant idea! To write music with words as notes. This will be the making of me. Yes, scales—seven notes and then a repeat at higher pitch—chords, transpositions.
“The cat lightly on the mat sat.”
They’ll shower me with awards and offers.
“On the mat, deviously skulked the panther.”
Hmm, I’m not sure this is quite working yet.

Having just started to read music I cannot help but wonder who devised the theory, and was it someone who wanted to limit musicality to a distinguished elite. Your intervention may have some substance.

I did recognise that little rhyme to remember the notes (not that I have a clue how to read them now, however). Nicely done! Tell him the words in the second verse are a tad… too much! 😉

As one who always needs a musician to turn my poems into songs, I’m not sure I understood this, Neil.
But I certainly empathise!

Sometimes you have to follow the inspiration where it leads. Sometimes, not so much…

He needs to keep at it until he finds every good boy deserves fudge. The idea is the important part. Funny story, Neil.
