The SunBird Singers’ synergy
Is greater than the sum
Of soprano, alto, tenor, base
And the notes where they come from
It’s clearly the integration
Of the parts that were selected
And even tho’ we’re old and wise
We surely need direction!
So Pat and Kim and Mike take pains
To cajole and beg and coach
A bunch of music derelicts
Who believe we’re beyond reproach
The songs they conjure up for sure
Are a challenge to this group
But in the end we “rise again”
And our concerts are no fluke
The Ringers with their bells and chimes
Denote a special skill
The sweet melodic tunes they craft
Make concerts much fulfilled
So kudos to our leaders
They worry, fret, and sweat
But eventually they’re rewarded
With sweet sounds you’ll not forget
As this talented music trio
Extracts the sum of parts
They likely do not realize
They’ve also won our hearts!
With much thanks and gratitude,
Rod Emmerton
