The ear that is ticklish will meet with it there.
The taste of the public will often insist on
A solo for trumpet or cornet-à-piston,
Which, played well or ill, from the audience draws,
At Christmas, a general round of applause;
During holiday time you can never do wrong
If even a passage you gave to the gong,
Or formed a quartette most delicious and tender,
With poker, and shovel, and tongs, and the fender.
The overture's finished, the curtain's ascended,
