The Drummer

The drum set sits all alone
As the person stares at it anxious
And goes over there to sit on the throne
And continues to stare at it contagious

It’s not that the drummer is disappointed
They’re just examining its texture
As if the drummer first wanted to be anointed
Because it was time for them to lecture

And picks up the sticks to begin to play
As the crown stand up and rock
They could tell the drummer would play all day
When the drummer entertained its flock
