Poem: Accordions

8/26/2015

Accordians

By Richard Horton
QuailBellMagazine.com

Accordions!
Accordions on parade!
Down Main street!
Dancing as they play! One holds a flag!
But they’re hungry! That’s not good!
They enter a cafe!

They saw the merrymakers here
And wished to join us!
Welcome, accordions!
Everyone looks up and smiles!
Mom smiles! Dad smiles!
Grandma smiles! Grandpa smiles!
The children smile, those young scamps!
The smiling server! The smiling dish gatherer!
All the smiling customers!
Even the lovers in the corner, oh, you lovers!
You were kissing just now
As the accordions played!
Do you know what time it is?
It’s time for a celebration!
Up goes the confetti! Up go the balloons!
Up go the petticoats! Oh, my accordions!
Come back to us again!
They were at the door, but they’ve stopped!
They’re turning around!
They’re coming back in!
One more time!
Dance! Dance! Dance! My fingers!
On the keys of my accordion!
Can-can fingers! Tango fingers!
Wildly dancing fingers!
Play us a tune! Oh!
Play that melody again!
They must have heard because they’ve stopped!
They smile at each other! The raised baton!
They’re playing it again!
My favorite melody! I’m in tears!
Give me your handkerchief!
It’s wet already! Give me another one!
That fellow’s not crying!
Let’s steal his handkerchief!
Oh, what a prank! He needs a good slap!
Give me your wet handkerchief!
A thousand wet handkerchiefs!
Slapping a thousand serious faces!
Slapping friends! Slapping total strangers!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Everybody’s slapping each other!
What a funny night at the cafe!

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
