SO MANY METRONOMES

SO MANY METRONOMES

           How many metronomes

WHO KEEPS A METRONOME

            I keep an omnibus.

            I go from dawn to dust.

WHAT IS A GARDEN GNOME

            What is a garden gnome?

            Staring through a portrait dome?

            Eating through a pocket phone?

            DOME DOME DOME

JULIENNED METRONOME

            No formal cutting board!

            Knife on the table top,

            Chop a carrot for a thumb,

            Only when you’re almost done.

JACKSONVILLE METRONOME
            Who has the time

            To go with Jackson

            Who dropped the line?

            Who felt a line ago.

            Who fell a mile wide.

            What is approaching

PILOT LIGHT PILOT LIGHT

            Bring it in, put it on

            Bring it on, put it in

PUPPETTOWN METRONOME

            Suspenders pulled a mile tall

            They will lead the way

            Trumpets with their faces

            Catch it when it sways

            Tree-necked, three-foot, full of eyes

            Braids in a braid

            Necklaces of canisters

            Milk carton parade
