‘It has to be there somewhere’ said Percy. Percy was a pianist of note, and he was performing at the Pig in the Pulpit Piano Bar when things went wonbly-woo. ‘Come out come out wherever you are’ he yelled as he searched through the piano strings. He had been playing The Flight of the Bumble Bee when B flat went missing. Plinkity-plonk-plinkity-plonk-plinkity... nothing... plonkity-plink-plonkity... nothing!
C hadn’t seen it; neither had A. F told him that it had, erm, gone off!
In fact, halfway through the piece B flat realised that being a bumble bee would be far more fun so off he buzzed off to make honey.
Delightful!

DeleteThat B-flat is a cheeky little devil, F-ing off in the middle of Percy's performance 😆😆😆
ReplyDeletelanguage...!Cheers Jan
Deleteoh this so funny, Keith :)
ReplyDeleteDelighted you found it so ladylee.
DeleteFrom what i remember of music b flat is one of the better notes to lose ;) a harpsichord-ic delight!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I thought I'd hive it off!
DeleteB flat is an ungenerous note to say about anyone.
ReplyDeleteBetter than B fat I suppose!
Deletelol. What a time to go AWOL!
ReplyDeleteYou can never trust a B Alice! Cheers
DeleteChuckles! Like the light-hearted take Keith! And only a musically inclined can pen this! Great!
ReplyDeleteHank
I have been known to platy a tune or two Hank! Cheers!
DeleteReally cute and creative story, Keith. I hope B is now happy. Well done. :D --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteI'm told his loving his new life! Thanks so much.
DeleteAnd well, that's what B's do :)
ReplyDeleteIt's what they are best at Dawn!
DeleteWhat a fun take on the prompt! We need more bees, so it's the right decision. By the way, my husband is a professional keyboard player and sometimes has a real problem with the notes B and B-flat, so your story particularly spoke to me. From now on, whenever he gets those notes muddled, I'll think of bees.
ReplyDelete...and have a slice of toast and honey! Thanks sarah
DeleteCleverly done
