O fortuna
When Fortune is with you, it’s great —
But remember before it’s too late,
A turn of the wheel
Is bound to reveal
The foul depredations of Fate!
Sing out loud! Sing out strong!
Carmina Burana is loud;
Whenever we hear it we’re cowed -
The carnal hysterics
Of medieval clerics
As yelled by a mixed choral crowd!
Box Orffice
Carmina Burana is brash.
It begins and it ends with a splash.
All told, it’s not subtle,
And brooks no rebuttal,
But it certainly rakes in the cash.
