Disappointment is indicated for

There was a very nervous man
Who lived IN an apartment house.

Was young lady with aspirations
To sing for Gatti-CasaZZa
And she worked at these aspira :

About eighteen hours a day.
Downstairs was player piano
That never gave up the fight.
Next door was a tenor.
In the street was street piano
And several thousand children.
So the nervous man thought
He would go to the country
And spend a few days.
He picked out quiet
Country boarding house,
And when he got there he found
A pIA,. iano that never quit.
