Was of fish all, sharking whales
Noted when it came to scales,
Now, all love a sardine so
Comes no ray when note is Do;
Piano sole-oh you might hake
Better porpoise sound can make —
At my plaice was needed sooner
Eel-ing by the piano tuna!

We have our annual visit today from the man who attempts to wrest perfect fifths from an instrument used to perfect fists and rests. Another punderful post, Col, it’s a wonder you haven’t hereby thusly used up the world’s stock of chromatically contrary musico-marine homophones.

I’ve toned down on them, and that’s of fish all!

I have NO ability to cleverly play along (and that wasn’t a pun about the piano!) but I am such an admirer! You have a gift, Col!

Thanks! It takes constant practice to the annoyance and despair of all my family and friends, who wish I’d stop and talk intelligibly.

A wordsmiff of note, you have found your niche
But this still doesn’t mean you can yet tuna fish.
Though you’re probably better than plinky-plonky,
Especially now your piano ain’t so wonky

Heehee!
One might tuna fish by playing the scales,
With herring afflicted by all those fishtails,
But would one look an awful ass
If playing treble with a bass?

For those who don’t ‘get’ puns:
Major Scale in C
Was official: shocking wails
Noted when it came to scales;
Now, all of a sudden so
Comes no Re when note is Do;
Piano solo you might hate
Better purpose sound can make —
At my place was needed sooner
Healing by the piano tuner!
