Livery Delivery
When Haydn accepted his gig
He knew that the check wasn’t big.
His mind was decided
When clothes were provided
Along with new shoes and a wig.
Deportment of Labor
Musicians in need of vacation
Expressed their collective frustration.
Kapellmeister Haydn
Supported their side in
A dwindling farewell orchestration.
By Any Other Names
The fact that the nicknames persist
Shows people still need an assist
With all of that Haydn,
In spite of the guide in
Herr Hoboken’s scholarly list.
