Are we surly ????

I want to play.

There once was a piper from Kerry.
The people said he was pissy.
When his pipes were brought out.
The people would shout.
His temper is worse than a grizzly.

Don't you have Arundo donax to grow or something?

My apartment's going arid and freaking my reed out, my cat just puked up a clod as big as a Buick nearby, there is no certainty but uncertainty, and closed-fingered technique is kicking my a$$. What's to be surly about? Beats me.

A forum of pipering gents
Charged with surliness launched a defence,
"It's our reeds. They've gone queer.
And much worse, there's no beer.
In our anguish we're bound to be tense."

You know, if "chiff" is a word evocative of the sound of whistling, "surly" should shurly be a a kind of sound produced by the pipes.

I'd be in a better mood if my freakin' drone reeds were working. Grrrrrrrrr......

The subject of surly old pipers,
Oft' mentioned by lesser trad gripers,
is said quite enough,
'cause the envy our stuff,
These nelly non piping nose wipers.

We're odd, sure. I certainly laughed.
But surly? Now don't ye be daft.
But they'd all give a nod,
And say you were odd,
If you had but studied our craft.

Take care not to giggle or say
That he's cranky. Stay out of his way!
If his chanter's pulled out,
and his face tends to pout,
It's his reed that refuses to play.

You know, "skirly" sounds close enough to "surly". Neither skirl(ing) nor surl(iness) are attractive qualities.

I vow to be free from surly behavior. I vow to be nice to every one. I just want to let all of you pipers know, that I really, really love you.... not so much in a gay way, but more like a prison kind of way.
