THE S:XOPHONE (Written for The Advance by T. A. Calhoun, London) Sometimes I think, 1'll join the band, A uniform adorn,' And sit with others on the stand And play a shining horn, I have a feeling in the bone I want to play a saxaphone. A cornet I, would never choose; So they must understand, The tenor horn I would refuse If I should join the band,. I would not play a slide -trombone, I want to play a saxaphone. I want to march along the street, Or on the corner stand, To listen to 1°tlie band, And see` the crowds of people meet And hear in murmured undertone "Just listen to that saxophone." 1 think I'd like to lead the band On exhibition. days And play before a crowded stand ` And hear their shouts of praise, - And for an "encore" play alone A solo on my saxophone. But should my plans amount to nought And nothing come to pass I have another happy thought, I'll join the better class, And simply stay at borne alone And play niy favorite saxophone.
