As The Keys B A N G E D …. …..[humor; Fiction; Medium Length; Noisy Neighbor] Comments

Hope, Bri's stepdaughter has learned piano by now, or she has stopped playing it altogether. Or else we can expect another poem

Loved this great poem. Enjoyed the subtle humour and fantastic rhyme.We all know. Bri is a genius, when it comes to poetry. And I read his "poet's note too"

Music can drive one mad (I mean wrong notes) .New learners should be excused.

Kim Barney said it best, as shall be seen, in 2016, as he himself can attest.

I can't top the comment I made in 2016...

I'll now leave myself a comment on this TERRIBLY WONDERFUL poem....by me...in hopes of bringing joy to more readers. ; : )))

There is such a thing called an ear plug Meant to prevent you from going nuts And if you have lots of dough to spare Sony Headphones will remove despair

Awesome poem Bri. You've brought a smile to my face with this funny flowing tale.

Invest in a saxophone and wail it to the tunes of screeching alley cats in a battle over a drumstick in the garbage. That'll learn that blasted pianist

I can relate to every word, every line here. Years ago I lived not next door to a pianist, but the World's Greatest Drummer. And the PD didn't care, and the drumming went on and on and on and on.....Just great! This poem, I mean.

Despite the 'cacophony' you have written a beautiful poem! You should be thankful to the pianist! Really enjoyed......! ! Yes..... I am serious Bri....!

Great poem- -thoroughly enjoyable and fun to read.! Are you sure it's not a cat up there? I noticed against him is a close enough rhyme- -you didn't even need to add- -in the next election. I will use this knowledge to help me in my next rhyming poem- -I need to get away from Strong Rhyme- -(boat, coat) - -the mark of an amateur- -but currently all of my poems are laden with it. You have just inadvertently shown me that the possibilities are endless- -just the HINT of a rhyme is sufficient, and in fact, preferred..

Complete sympathy. I live in a condo and my upstairs neighbour is beefy and walks on his heels. Even soft slippers isn't much of a help. They go south six months a year but his relatives who often use his condo have the same heavy tread. I may install a baffle but there are all sorts of problems and rules to pull this off.

Practice makes perfect...but only before 10 PM

And as the keys so loudly banged You wished your neighbor would be hanged. Surely a jury would decide It was justifiable homicide.
