he stood before them
lifted his flute to his lips
soulfully inhaled
they waited for the magic
he played not a single note
he stood there as if
********* passionately
with body english
the crowd paused for a minute
suspended in the quand'ry
the light bulb came on
and they busted up laughing
as he continued
in his silent happiness
he loved the "gotcha" moment
Del Maximo
