A little whimsy

We drove past a shop sign the other day that said Sur-o-bani Musical Shop.
I was utterly charmed by the very thought of a musical shop.
I could imagine it humming a tune to itself under its downed shutters.
Or dancing a little jig, or just tapping its feet to a really good tune that it happens to hear.....

:-) I can almost visualise the instruments dancing around - and it brings to my mind the nonsensical rhyme - Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle... and the dish ran away with the spoon.

This reminds me of my school teacher who corrected us when we referred to our song books as singing books.She used to say that the books dont sing, they just have the words of the songs in them.

@radha: I like the thought:)

@Bubble Catcher: But imagine if they could! I'm sure they would love to be singing books:)

I can visualize the shop dancing the rumba, something really boisterous. :) It would be, no, with all the instruments.

:) Absolutely - with a cash counter that sings each time you buy something!

@Thinking Cramps: Now that would be a joyful tune indeed!
