When I was small <br />I learned the piano. <br />I didn't practice, <br />I didn't have to. <br />It was so easy. <br /> <br />When I was eight <br />I played in a concert. <br />I was super confident, <br />I 'froze' half-way through. <br />I nearly died! <br /> <br />I practiced and practiced <br />'till I got very good. <br />I was school pianist, <br />I sat for exams, <br />I always got honors. <br /> <br />When I left school, <br />I stopped the piano. <br />No time to practice. <br />I bought recordings <br />and listened to them. <br /> <br />Now I'm older, <br />I've learned to dance. <br />I don't practice <br />I don't have to. <br />It's so easy.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dancing-the-music/
