My mean old bass(in the eyes of Eman)

I was playing a gig one day,
when my bass decided he wanted to play
a little game with me;
and with all 6 of his strings he
removed one off the nut next to the "A"
where it then settled to stay.
I tried to pull it once gently back
and cringed when I heard it visibly snap!
I rushed backstage quickly
this naughty bass sure needs a fixing!
After the new string was in and tuned
which at that pace was so hard to do,
and to order that mean old bass to obey!
so that I could go back and play-
he knew he'd better
and put the string back in-no sweat there!
my mean old bass finally behaved!
At least for the rest of the day!
