What life did you lead? What songs did you help sing? And how did all end here on these rough streets with even your precious illegal ivory teeth plundered? And me standing by contemplating the possible utility and value of your strings, hammers and wooden bones?

@futurebird@sauropods.win Can't look at this photo without being reminded of the check-fraud scam email I get at least once a week where someone is looking for a "loving home" for their baby grand piano. This pic is like meeting an actual Nigerian Prince.
