The Other Piano Man
Punchline

One life is a timely gift.nWho knew it would make him sick,nHalfway, when he found his list of life long goals.nAnd now regret sinks in like feetnIn mud, but not so deep,nAnd at forty with muddy teethnThe list is still clean.nnAnd the piano plays without his fingers.nIt's too late. He tears the list apart.nnPaper piles up in stacksnAt a desk he regrets is his habitatnIn an empty house full of furniturenThat he sits on nightly watching TV,nA pastime that seems to fit.nHe's a master of time management.nAt what point do we set aside the important things in your life?nnThe piano plays and he has nothing to do with it.nIt's too late. He tears the list apart.nn“Entertain us! Play 'Let It Be'!nWhere were you last week when the curtain called you?nWe're all restless and ready to sing.nSo play anything that we know the words to!nPlay 'Brick'! Play Queen! Play 'Bennie and the Jets'!nPlay the theme from Cheers!”nn“Hey, wait a second, here!nI'm smoking and drinking, and after I'm donenI'll play what I want! I'll play what I want!”nnAnd as the crowd starts to screamnHe realized it was just a dream.
