2072 - The devil's harp

Today I bought me a harmonica
(In the key of C), twenty quid, it was
More than you'd think, from Forsyth's, Manchester
Mind you, things from music shops always cost
A lot. God knows how to play it - I must
Work it out for myself, I guess. It can't
Be that difficult, surely? Don't I just
Put my lips to it and blow? That's the point -
It's easy to carry and play and won't
Need a car to transport it! When I'm poor
I'll still be able to blow and draw, test
My mettle, shed some spittle, suck it in
To and fro it goes, mouth rhythm-giver
In and out, loud and quiet, ego boost
