WHO'S COUNTING?

WHO’S COUNTING?

On her ninetieth birthday
    One she couldn't attend
Louise’s piano began to wend its way to Oak Park
    — Chicago

Leaving East Lansing with wranglers and truck
    This piano-a-go-go
        Extended its long Wurlitzer trek

From Atlanta, 1949,
It traveled from Rich's to Lax
Furnishing Louise and William’s south Georgia home
With half
A century of music

U’Hauled north
Generation two
Michigan and a millennia new
Welcomed its melodies, memories
And Christmas Caroles
In return for some TLC.

Now on to O. P.
Marya’s family

    First daughter two

One piano
88 keys
Four generations
Sixty years of songs, hymns, recitals

    And still counting

Go, generation three
Go, generation four
Go, go, piano

Let’s hear some jive
There’s lots of music to be made
Before gen five
