Anno

There once was a banshee called Anno,
Who was learning to play the piano.
She was doomed to fail,
And started to wail -
And now she’s a world class soprano.

Jack I like Anno and his piano. I may have posted one about a piano--it goes: A dog trained to play the piano is a marvelous sight But Boston neighbors say its Bach is worse than its bite.
