Real Estate Notes

When I was four I lived
in C Major.
I knew no sharps
or flats.  The yard was open
and full of grass, my room bright
and full of harmony.

At the age of seven
I moved away
to B flat minor.
The small house called
out in sad voices
without rest.
We had no yard
and the new dog
bit my brother.

Now I reside in a healthy
F sharp Major.
I have no yard
and no dog.
Just by listening
you can’t tell that the key
signature has six sharps.
It is C Major
up three steps.
