The Ten Accordion Commandments
(source unknown)
Compliments of Steve's Accordion Shop (330) 332-1111
-
Thou shalt not keep me in the trunk of the car when we go
riding so that my wax will melt, or my bass buttons fall in.
-
Thou shalt not stretch my bellows as far as they will go
to see them rip apart.
-
Thou shalt not be careless when placing me in or out of my
case, for my keys will pop up and catch on the straps as you pull them
over.
-
Thou shalt not push my bass buttons in quite hard, or bump
them on a door, for my wire fastenings will then bend and I will lose my
buttons.
-
Thou shalt not set me on the seat of the car so that I roll
off onto the floor when you stop.
-
Thou shalt not take me apart to find out what makes me click!
-
Thou shalt not forget and leave me near a heater so that
I will warp and thus be the only accordion with rounded sides.
-
Thou shalt not forget to bring me in for my yearly check-up
at the repairman or I may wheeze and cough.
-
Thou shalt not take me out of the case and begin to play
me while I am still cold and not full of air.
-
Thou shalt not misuse me and therefore soon throw me away
with mean words because I didn't behave.
