As a pianist, dear Fréd'ric Chopin,
Was certainly no also-ran.
I enjoy a prelude,
A nocturne or etude
While supping upon coq au vin.
The Norwegian composer named Grieg,
Should be shined on by lights known as Klieg.
His concerto (A minor)
Could hardly be finer,
And Peer Gynt is in its own league.
That marvelous man, Aaron Copland,
Wrote works that can lift us from mope land.
They never are boring,
Send spirits a-soaring
And leave us in all-full-of-hope land!
Saint-Saëns, whose first name was Camille,
Composed many works with great feel.
The fact that The Swan
Sort of rhymes with Saint-Saëns
Makes me want to say "Hey, what's the deal?"
