Chopsticks

I sit at the piano
Fingering the keys
Hoping to inspire
Some poetry

I wonder if Chopin
Knew at the time
When composing Chopsticks
He wrote it in rhyme

    Oh yes, music is so much in sympathy with everything, from rhyme to math. Nice one.

    this brought a smile and memories of my mother placing her fingers on mine to teach me Chopsticks. And yes, I think ol' Fred mean it to rhyme.

    Fun, fun, Lori. I hope he would have.
    Did you have "Bill Grogen's Goat" as a learning tune?
    I don't think my lesson had the words, I hope to find it. This was my search. Three YouTube presentation showed but no music sheet: https://g.co/kgs/pP6fZW .

      I didn't have that one. I'm not familiar with it but it sounds an awful lot like "I Met a Bear" a song I learned in Girl Scouts. Same tune I'm thinking.

    A musician and a poet ... so closely linked IMO.

    Your short ditty was very clever! Chopin was a poet though. Wonderful!
