Like a Piano - a Satire

I'm falling like a piano off the top of a building, You know, the one that lands directly on someone's head As they're walking by quietly meddling I crash into a million pieces with no warnings to be said Wooden splinters, wires snap, keys clatter across the crosswalk SMACK Pain engulfs you and everything goes black Confused, you gawk At the mangled mess of what's left of your life after that stumble Now you pick yourself up and remind yourself to be humble Next time it could be an anvil
