Being Bright and Creative.

Some bright and creative people over here in the bright and creative UK have just completed a bright and creative musical project. They left some sheets of manuscript paper where the birds would deposit their droppings, and then turned the poo blots into a musical score.

The news report said that the piece is called ‘Bird Sheet Music,’ which might be a deliberate malapropism, or it might be a misprint. Seems to me that there’s a word very close to ‘sheet’ that would not only be more obviously appropriate, but also deliver a telling double meaning.
