Trumbull Resident: 'The Sound of Silence' (or, 'The Concert We Never Heard')
More verses from Trumbull's resident political poet.
I miss the music we didn't hear,
the non-concert in Trumbull,
Now a tradition so dear . . .

Since the tune sung in town,
is in a majorly-minor key . . .
You can hear them arguing,
up Main St. and down,
With political apologists,
making the most jarring sound . . .
The key to resolving this major dis-chord,
would be conduct a town survey,
- and do it soon -
Let the taxpayers of Trumbull,
choose their own tune . . .
I'd applaud their choice,
though it wouldn't be mine . . .
My taste is more classical
- and that works for me -
A String Quartet from Cleveland,
Playing Ravel and Claude Debussy . . .
But I'd cheer for the town,
Whoever their choice . . .
Because the concert would be Trumbull's,
And everyone would have a voice . . .
So let's give silence a sound,
and change this key . . .
To a chorus of voices,
Singing in total town - harmony.
