The Last Organ Grinder

The last organ grinder (I’ve been told)
hailed from Boston and died very old.
When his barrel organ
got played by his son,
in his grave the dead Fred must have rolled.

Sorry but humor was my only way to deal with a topic I know so little about. I had fun making it a limerick though

The organ seems dead in Malta. Pity. I heart on the computer how versatile and lovely it can sound. Blessings
