Born To Play

The ukulele sat there hanging all alone,
it called to me,
it wept, it connected to my bone.

I knew right then I was born to play,
and I rushed over without a delay.
The splintered wood scratched my arm,
but I kept playing for that was my charm.

My pick was plucking the perfect strum,
Everyone in the house crowded around to enjoy the fun.
As the tune and music played the song,
it danced and it swayed with every chord it made.

When we heard the clock strike 12,
we knew the day was done,
but with a quick flick of the wrist,
we started back up until the music met the sun.
