On the 11th day of December (first draft)

[Richard Brekne]

Early out on day 11.... well there is 20 minutes to go here in the far 
north of the world... but just so.   Huberts suggestion about coats of 
paint for day four resolves the issue about what kind of a pianer we are 
dealing with... well done :)  And an attempt to address Phils request 
about the elbows is hereby tabled. I also took up Huberts theme on day 
eleven.... awaiting further comment.... I bid you all a fair good nite !

Cheers

On the 11th day of December, a piano came to me...

     With eleven jilted jacks
     Ten twisted stickers
     Nine rotten bridles
     Eight chewed up dampers
     Seven grungy flanges    
     Six melted elbows,
     Five broken strings !
     Four coats of paint,
     Three warped posts,
     Two pedals bent,
     And a carton of badly warped keys


  Cheers
