Somebody's Piano


The soprano's piano
Was made of coat Hangers
That's why they kept Cuttin
Every last button
Off her recital gowns

She'd spit out her gum
And happily hum
While coating
Hangers
With rounds

-Caryl Hobbes

The piano is a sculpture by Augusto Esquivel
Mr. Hobbes has referred to the The Soprano's Pianos as the worst poem ever

  1. Mr. Hobbes
    This is a marvelous poem.
    Especially the lines: She spit out her gum
    And happily hum

    They remind me of an old Betty Davis movie.
    I just wish she could make a "new Betty Davis movie."
    So it goes

  2. Praise is appreciated, Mr. Schneidly, but the editor has changed the line to
    She'd spit out her gum
    And happily hum


    Thus it be.
