Round as a tea pot
Clear as a pane
House full of water
Not from the rain.

We play music quite bright
Though we're seldom in sight
Tiny instruments aren't used for flight.
We've an audience small
Of insomniacs all
Because we play mainly at night.

To us give your praise
If you like what you eat
We offer you salt
Bitter, sour or sweet.

What needs the ear
If it would hear?

With two of course
You have a pair,
But now take one away.
You still will have a pair,
It is a paradox, they say

My stealthy ways are wicked
At evening, keep your guard
I come to dine
I quaff your wine
A welt my calling card.
