poor ear

“Ain’t you nice . . . ain’t you nice . . .” But the voice of the buffalo was the voice of Amanda Beale, and its teeth were her fingers pulling and wrenching his poor ear till he was sitting upright.

In a land resounding with the Marseillaise and the Internationale, Schuman said quietly: "I have a poor ear for music."

You have a poor ear for music, John Doe.

And, oh! that poor ear, how it did smart, and how loud the noise of the box did sound!

And that reminds me, how is your poor ear?”
