Just happened to step on her corn 
Forget the piano
He's now a soprano
And wishes he'd never been born!

Those olde, sad songs you loved
Spirited fingertips touch ...
Upon the dusty keys
And haunting melodies

I do not think so
as I do not use ivory and ebony
I just play the keys

And a makeup kit for Sydney!

Merlin the Magic Cat

When Merlin meows, 
It pulls the piano strings, 
A symphony plays,
There is a sequential flow,
A door opens to this world.

Heart piercing violin
dull sounds of a piano

What ivory smiles
Playing her piano
In the dark, but
Where does night
Rest her eyes,
In this land of Tunisia
Bringing stars
Through the
