Explore "Piano Torture" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Pianos are considered toys / By Goops, and naughty girls and boys; / They pound upon the keys, / They lift the cover up, on top, / To see the little jiggers hop, / And both the pedals squeeze!
But instruments so rich and fine / (Especially if they're not mine) / I ought to treat with care; / So when my elder sister plays / She'll find it is in tune always, / Nor injured anywhere!
