Take the Long Way Home
When Bruckner was thinking symphonically
He was long, he was slow, and harmonically
His thoughts could devour
Three fourths of an hour
Before he resolved it all tonically.
When Anton Met Richard
Anton Bruckner got the vapors
When he met the Bayreuth Master.
Luckily, it missed the papers,
Or it could have been disaster.
But though reporters missed a bet
By absence from the tête-à-tête,
The chat was caught in silhouette,
And so we can enjoy it yet.
