In response to what a friend (hi Cameron!) wrote:
ing it! (slightly abbreviated tune):
The Impossible Reed (sung to Impossible Dream)
To find
the impossible reed
The one
that works all of the time
The reed
that makes playing so easy
The sort
that’s incredibly fine.
This is my quest ‐
to locate that reed!
No matter how costly
(I’ll deal with the greed),
and to purchase that reed
and be thrilled at the sight;
It’s impossible, sure
but I dream of that reed
through each day and each night …
… And I know
If I only stay true
To this glorious quest
That my horn
Will play sweetly and warm
‘Till I lay it to rest…
