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
