Guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 A girl took a seat on her piano stool And wondered what to play. To write a song, she needed me, To help her know what to say. In two ways I helped the girl As she put some me on her page. She touched me gently, as she gave it a whirl, And started to set the stage. I came forth as she closed her eyes, Her music from the heart, I was just a few words and her ivory keys. But she must remember this part. So she jotted me down with a few quick strokes, A message and a song. Whatever it was she wrote in her book I was never meant to be long.

To write a song, she needed me, To help her know what to say. In two ways I helped the girl As she put some me on her page.

0 Guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 wow, have to admit I don't see it. can you explain the below? Sure! This is an artists' riddle, therefore very artistic, not so cut and dry. But here ya go: A girl took a seat on her piano stool And wondered what to play. To write a song, she needed me, To help her say what she'd say. I just adjusted it thusly In two ways I helped the girl She wrote notes (words) on the page, and played notes (music) on her piano As she put some me on her page. She touched me gently, as she gave it a whirl, And started to set the stage. Nothing elusive, just a way to say "Paint a picture/write a song" I came forth as she closed her eyes, Her music from the heart, I was just a few words and her ivory keys. (a few words=notes) But she must remember this part. When writing a song, it helps to jot down your ideas before you forget them (some notes) So she jotted me down with a few quick strokes, A message and a song. Again, the double meaning of note Whatever it was she wrote in her book I was never meant to be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Aww dang. I just finished my explanation. Oh well. Good. no thanks for this, I think it's a great riddle and definitely one for the book I also figured this out But she must remember this part. When writing a song, it helps to jot down your ideas before you forget them (some notes) YOU ALSO SAY "NOTE THIS" FOR "REMEMBER THIS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
A girl took a seat on her piano stool
And wondered what to play.
To write a song, she needed me,
To help her know what to say.
In two ways I helped the girl
As she put some me on her page.
She touched me gently, as she gave it a whirl,
And started to set the stage.
I came forth as she closed her eyes,
Her music from the heart,
I was just a few words and her ivory keys.
But she must remember this part.
So she jotted me down with a few quick strokes,
A message and a song.
Whatever it was she wrote in her book
I was never meant to be long.
