THE MASTERPIECE
It's ancestry goes back for centuries
And relates to all the world.
The uniqueness it once possessed
Has been familiarized with such a whirl.
It has changed and evolved with age
The body and parts still very simular
All hold the beauty and sound engaging
In a flow of emotions creation gives her.
She comes in many colors, sizes and shapes
And is constructed with skill and balance.
From high tones to low, it can demonstrate
The imaginary or realistic qualities enhance.
A black and white face of ebony and ivory
Join together in melodious harmonies
Accentuate each other with each depression
To blend and tell of romance or tragedies.
She has relatives that have tried to follow her fame
Not all fitted with velvet hammers and strings
She is the MASTERPIECE of all that have been
That's why she is affectionately named, the GRANDE.
A marvelous instrument that is more versatile per say
Than those that have colored circuits and wires.
Each part of her is carefully designed and staged to play
The compositions of other MASTERS so greatly admired.
