The works of that man, Dom. Scarlatti,
Should never be thrown in the potty.
Same age as old Bach,
He wrote up a flock
Of sonatas to please literati.
That master of opera, Puccini,
Hailed from Italy (home of linguini.)
"Un bel di" (Butterfly)
Makes each listener cry,
And that Pinkerton guy's a real meanie!
In my car, when I hear César Franck,
I sometimes am tempted to honk.
His melodies move me
But does it behoove me
To rhyme up these guys like a wonk*?
*Definition HERE.
Old Sergei Prokofiev wrote
Several pieces deserving of note.
Not as good as a B.J.
Still, Lieutenant Kije
Is surely one I'd give my vote!
