Want to compare notes?
A noteworthy exercise
I’ll get my notebook

You received a note.
How do you know? Silly — it
was on notepaper!

Looks like a love note
Can you read the handwriting?
No, it’s a foot note!

Note receivable?
Yes, there’s a postmark on it
Oh, a post-it note!

He hit the right note
Is he someone important?
Yes, he’s the key note!

The key of C-note?
No not C! I’ll name that tune
In One Note Samba.

Something worth noting
What’s right — connote or denote?
Define or imply!

Asked cause was implied
I shouldn’t make mental notes.
Does your mind de-note?

Hear what the band did?
They ate their sheet music, and
started passing notes!

Chewing on some Bach.
Chopin on some Beethoven.
Whole notes are Haydn!

Note from my doctor
Your readers can’t take much more
On that note …

THE END

Inspired by “Spaces In-between my Notes” by Fierce Force 💃🏼and her prompt, “note” on Chalkboard. After clapping 😃, please enjoy the one and only Ella Fitzgerald scatting the “One Note Samba” backed by Brazilian Tom Jobim:
