I was trying to get a better rhyme for Bristol to complete my limerick

'I just need to find the right stool', is my suggestion.

Ian

That gave me an idea, so here's my improved version

A concertina player from Bristol

Had a vision as clear as crystal.

I'll get up a band

of the best in the land

And I'll conduct them all from my high stool.

You might like to have this available for download and I suggest CDBaby who have always treated me fairly in every way: Here.
