Bottled Singer

 Bottled Singer

  

 Where is your voice now,

 Muffled by water

 In a glass bowl;

 Your head

 All swollen,

 Contained,

 Captured

 For our amusement.

 

 But still you smile

 And your moustache

 Looks even grander

 Than usual;

 I think you know

 That one high note

 Will quickly shatter

 This fragile confinement.
