Horn and Saxophone

Horn and Saxophone, two wind instruments,
Lived in one big orchestra.
Saxophone was stylish and sonorous,
Horn was powerful and solid.

Saxophone loved to play light melodies,
That floated gently in the air,
Horn preferred deep sounds,
Which crashed like waves on seashore.

Horn and Saxophone often argued,
Who is more important in orchestra,
But one day they had to play a duet,
And realized, that they are not competitors.

Horn and Saxophone began to play together,
Their voices wove into complex melodies,
Which amazed every listener,
And in this duet, everyone was beautiful.

That was until they got to a punk-band concert.
Horn and Saxophone fell in love
With vocalist without memory
And now they argued only about one thing,
Who is more worthy of embrace of punk musician.

To be in spiritual closeness with punk-diva,
They also became punks, they yelled, they raged,
They pretended to pee from the stage,
And I'm ashamed to talk about it,
But sometimes they really peed.

No wonder they were kicked out of orchestra,
After all, when you are deadly drunk,
It's difficult to perform Vivaldi or Paganini.
Horn and Saxophone performed as street musicians,
But soon they acquired drug addiction.
"Live fast, die young" was about them.
