<p align="left">After a couple confused type protestations as to the validity of the word Cartridge in day one... I re-instated carton in lue of a better suggestion. Marshall's day 12 looked good to me... so here we have it. Day 13 .... uncharted territory for this song :)<br/><br/>Cheers<br/>RicB<br/></p>
<blockquote><br/>On the 12th day of December, a piano came to me...<br/> <br/>With twelve tubby bass strings<br/>Eleven jacks a-jumping<br/>Ten twisted stickers<br/>Nine rotten bridles<br/>Eight chewed up dampers<br/>Seven grungy flanges<br/>Six busted elbows,<br/>Five broken strings !<br/>Four coats of paint,<br/>Three warped posts,<br/>Two pedals bent,<br/>And a carton of several bare keys</blockquote>
