It was during a piano playing
Contest that they came to
The last contestant to play.
He was a little boy, and the
Audience snickered when he
Sat down at the piano. He
Began to play, and after a
Few minutes the audience
Was in tears, because they
Had never heard anything
As heavenly and wonderful
As what the little boy played
That night.
When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
