Eighty-Eight Keys
To eighty-eight keys, I was first introduced
With eighty-eight keys, my ears were seduced
But greetings started with just eight
The other eighty had to wait
Some years passed, I got to know better
The keys that were notes and their letters
Do to Sol is C, D, E, F, G
La, Ti is A, B, then back to C
Simple Do Re Mi's turned to complex Do Mi Sol's
Intervals became larger though my hands are small
Frustration came from a piece for recital
Proper skill and technique became so vital
To eighty-eight keys, I was first introduced
With eighty-eight keys, my ears were seduced
The other eighty which then had to wait
Now take part in the music that I create
