Anniversary (1968)
A year ago two of us came
Our clarinets a-blowing,
Now there are three instead of two –
Your student band is growing!
If by next year the number should
Increase by half again
Why, then you’ld have four and a half
And that might be a strain!
Slowly we learn, as weeks slip by,
For skills are slowly won.
It’s difficult, but thanks to you
It certainly is fun!
