Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"my Dad"

The sound that most sticks in my head..
Is listening to the piano from my dad..
Not known to play that well..
His work was a piano to sell..
As a kid I remember always hearing a song..
For every customer another piano went along..
Fur Elise was the first song I heard..
As I sat on his lap hoping to learn..
Now that dad is in another place..
I too sit at my piano and picture his face..
Not much better have I learned to play..
But with this memory, wouldn't have it anyother way..


inspired by Dad & and the fav. sound contest
