So you'd like to buy a bell

So you’d like to buy a bell today
but which bell would be best?
A jingle bell, a bell that clangs,
a bell that hangs or one that stands?

An array of bells fills this chest
and you may pick but one
just one, by the sound you hear
standing there six feet away.

Not fair, you say? Why, I agree!
But you came here for a bell
not justice or fairness or
anything in between.

So pick your bell and carry it
with you wherever you live-
let it sit on your desk
or swing from your door,

let it blare all day long
or just for a moment,
let its song ring just for you
or sing out to many more,

but let it sing, let it ring, let it
tingle your toes and tickle your nose,
let it echo through the halls
and reverberate through your bones.
