About a piano...

When a piano takes a bath
The waters swirl with wrath.


When you press a piano's keys
If it's old you just hope it won't wheeze.

Music is sweet
Playing piano is a treat.

The keys are white
Even in the night.

When a piano writes notes
It plays them on boats.

When a piano says hello
It sounds very mellow.

When you press a piano's pedal
It sounds very high, low, or middle.

There's a piano named Lina
When played sounds like a hyena

About the author
Julie is nine years old. She loves to read and play on the piano. She is going to take swimteam for the fourth time. She is in fourth grade, loves to write, and is good at rhyming. She loves school, and likes horses.

This is from a little homemade book I made when I was nine. I found it as I was sorting through boxes of old papers. I hope it made you laugh.

How terrific! I remember having to write books in elementary school, too. But nothing I wrote then will top a blood bath version of three blind mice (where the mice extract their revenge) I dictated to my mom when I was in preschool. It had me laughing so hard I cried years later.
