[LA]  Trying to live in a trumpet

Isn’t so easy, you know.

But when you are a mouse

In need of a house,

You try, for there’s nowhere to go.

Trying to live in a trumpet

Often is noisy, I fear.

But when you are a tramp,

You must often make camp

In a place that’s a pain in the ear.

I’ve tracked and tracked along the trail.

I’ve traveled far and wide.

But tricks and traps are everywhere,

And so I’ve learned to hide.

Yes, trying to live in a trumpet

Is often so bad.  That I’ve known.

But I really can’t curse,

‘Cause my friend has it worse.

She’s trying it in a trombone!
