On the 18th day of December

[Richard Brekne]

7 days again :)

On the 18th day of December a piano came to me

   With eighteen keys a-knocking
   Seventeen barren backchecks
   Sixteen pins a-pommelled
   Fifteen butts a-bounding
   Fourteen wobbly whippens
   Thirteen coins a-clinking,
   Twelve tubby bass strings,
   Eleven  jacks a-jumping,
   Ten grungy grommets,
   Nine brittle bridles,
   Eight damaged dampers,
   Seven fractured flanges,
   Six errant elbows,
   Five broken strings !
   Four coats of paint,
   Three warped posts,
   Two pedals bent,
   From a Parson who wants it fixed free !

Cheers
