T minus 2 and counting -- On the 23rd day of December a piano came to me With twenty three bushings binding Twenty two hoppled hammers Twenty one crusty keypins Twenty beckets buckling Nineteen shanks a-squiggling Eighteen keys a-knocking Seventeen barren back checks Sixteen pins a-pommeled 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 RicB
