Okay, you asked for it.......

There once was a tuner named Shel,
Who died and descended to Hell.
He found all there was in it
Was nothing but spinets
And all need pitch raises as well.

There were 12 bass strings needing a splice
And the keybeds were loaded with lice.
The keys were all stuck
(The things played like a truck)
But they made lovely homes for the mice

Of course they had elbows of plastic
And the strings were no longer elastic
The bridges had splits
The sound was like...................pits! (What did you think I'd say?)
And poor old Shel became quite spastic

The wip flanges were all too loose
And the pin blocks were doped with that juice
He tried spit on the damper
(He's one very sad camper)
But at least they now mute when in use.

Well I don't want this to end quite so sad
T'was just a dream.  He's alive (aren't you glad)
But life isn't fair
He's tuning a square
But given a choice, this ain't bad
