Insomnia...

Took Music Theory in HS. As part of the class we had to write a musical phrase, typically about 8 bars. There were all kinds of stuff. serval used a piano, several sang la la stuff. Another used a Theramin. One girl even setup glasses with different amounts of water to make different tones and played them with spoons. I brought in some cans, buckets, bike bell, and old squeeze the bulb car horn and wrote a percussive piece.

Every one accused me of just banging on stuff and honking a horn a few times. But is was all according to the music I had written. So, I took my phrase and did a complete piece arranged for those odd noise makers and the school Jazz Band. It turned out fun. The jazz band played it as part of our Christmas concert. Creatively called it "Honk". Got an A in music theory out of it. And yes, it ended with a pause, then a honk of the horn.

When we moved to this house I went thru my music stuff and couldn't find one sheet of the music. Thought I had kept a copy of the score. Bet since the parts were all hand written it got tossed at school as well.
