Piano Torture

Pianos are considered toys

By Goops, and naughty girls and boys;

They pound upon the keys,

They lift the cover up, on top,

To see the little jiggers hop,

And both the pedals squeeze!

But instruments so rich and fine

(Especially if they’re not mine)

I ought to treat with care;

So when my elder sister plays

She’ll find it is in tune always,

Nor injured anywhere!
