Bagpipe Music

        It's no go the merrygoround, it's no go the rickshaw, 
        All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow. 
        Their knickers are made of crêpe-de-chine, their shoes are made
of python, 
        Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with heads
of bison. 

De-couple? 

I don't like Bagpipe music. There is a fellow playing one now at Time
Square, he's all decked out in a skirt and boots, he's all red hair and
face, a map of the islands off the green,  looks wonderful,  but I can't
stand the sound of those pipes. Imagine them under the ground, where the
wind never blows. The jack hammer on the concrete is more pleasing to my
ear. My mother plays every instrument known to man or woman. Just give
her anything that she can make a noise with and she'll play a tune. I've
never seen her play the bagpipe, but I've a cousin, a big girl, she
plays it. Maybe mom is too little or maybe, having such an ear for
sounds and noise, she can't stand the bagpipe. I think that's it. Mom
had records, thousands of records and I don't recall a single bagpipe
recording in the house.  Been hearing a lot from those bagpipes of late.
I guess I will always associate them with funerals more than St. Patty's
day or The Devil's Brigade.
