My wife’s cousin Claire plays the bagpipes.
She recently did me a huge favour. When I asked what I could do to repay her, she said simply, “Doodle me some bagpipes.” To which I – oblivious to just how strange and complicated the bagpipes actually are – said “No problem!”
Well, it took a couple tries (my first attempt ended in tears when I found myself off-course more than 30 kilometres into my doodle – see the second image below), but I finally got ‘er done…

I was taught long ago to avoid anything having to do with bagpipes (playing, listening, looking at them …) for precisely the reasons your first attempt illustrates.
