Accordion to a recent study, you can replace a word with an instrument and people won’t notice the first time they read it. (Photo by Dominik Vanyi on Unsplash)

Since Medium income is “bellows” expenses,
I took my accordion down to the square.
I realize my instrument offends the senses.
Tips bad, but bonding with my current mare. 😍

Background …

“Learn to play accordion. Practice while you’re traveling.”
This, my girlfriend advised. She wanted chicks ignoring me.
Home now, I said, “Babe — libido needs unravelling.”
“First, play a recital.” I performed accordionly. 😏

Earlier today …

Hungry driving into town intending to eat first.
Left accordion in the car, thought safe on a side street.
Came back — window’s broken. I fear I’ll find the worst.
Found a second ’cordion was thrown in the back seat?! 🪗🪗

Then, a cop inquired: “Accordion player, too?”
“Yes sir, officer. My day job’s supervisor.”
“Do you know why terrorists are the same as you?
Both of you wreak havoc — ’course they have sympathizers.” 🙄
