Piano Concert

It makes such a ridiculous sight
Even words cannot describe.

The texture smooth and nevertheless rough,

When skin glides over black and white

Forms a musical... not quite enough.

Allegro plays in arrhythmic melody

And fingers make an exquisite calamity,

Who can hear to such atrocity?

Although it's played disastrously,

The audience shows no animosity

yet doubtful glances are exchanged conspicuously.

The notes are wrong

And touched too soon,

Arched posture and evidently no written song,

Who wants to make of himself such a fool?

You say ignorance is bliss,


Yet to be able to ignore all this,

Being worse than a beginner pianist,

I say it may undoubtedly be a gift.
