The Great Composers - Things you never knew

By Jan Clark from Daventry in Northamptonshire.

Satie
Was tatie
And Strauss
Was a lauss
And Lully
A bully
But Schumann
Quite human

Gluck
Was a schmuck
Dukas
Was an ass
De Falla
A lalla
And Nyman
A shyman

Rossini
A mini
As was Puccini
Scarlatti
A fatti
And Glinka
A thinka

Boyce
Had no voice
Delibes
Was a dwibes
Teleman
The geman
Was smitten
With Britten

And don't get me started on Franck and Poulenc.
