Alice: We're getting the piano today! Dill: I saw a cartoon where a cat was playing a piano. There was a mouse running around in it - NEEEOWZOOM! And he'd stick his head out and the cat would smack it. BAM! BAM! Then it was like NEEZOOOMMNPOW! And the cat got a mallet - WHAP! And then some DYNAMITE - GKKAPHOOOHMM!

If you ever see a suspicious piano, you will no doubt feel compelled to play “Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” by pecking out the notes with one finger (or beak, if applicable).
