Saxophone

SAXOPHONE

About 3 AM, people were awakened
By the sound of saxophones.
It was a disturbing sound,
terrified the people.
On their knees,
people peeped through their curtains.
They saw the saxophones,
bright in the moonlight,
But could not make out who was playing
This disturbing and terrifying music.
The people grabbed their shotguns
And went outside
to find the saxophone players.
When they went outside, they heard
The disturbing and terrifying sound
Coming from the insides of their houses.
From outside, the people peeped inside
their houses,
Saw that they were playing the saxophones.
