Sense Sonnet - Acher

 A Tap Too Many

I remember that as a kid,

On the mantle was a glass vase

With pretty artwork, as I did

Take it down and with pen did trace

The artwork on a paper, and

When pen tapped vase there was a sound

Of music tone that sounded grand.

So I tapped the vase all around,

And caused a lively tune to play.

Caught up with my musical knack,

I kind of got carried away,

And suddenly the vase did crack.

This vase was favorite of Mom.

She saw the crack and was not calm.
