Little girl
Dreaming of a baby grand piano
(Not knowing there’s a Steinway bigger, bigger)
Dreaming of a baby grand to play
That stretches paddle-tailed across the floor
Not standing upright
Like a bad boy in the corner
But sending music
Up the stairs and down the stairs
And out the door
To confound even Hazel Scott
Who might be passing!

Oh!

Little boy
Dreaming of the boxing gloves
Joe Louis wore
The gloves that sent
Two dozen men to the floor
Knockout!
Bam! Bop! Mop!

There’s always room
They say
At the top
