December 29 - Pablo Casals (The Musical Birthday Series)

Pablo Casals (29 December 1876 – 22 October 1973) was a world-renowned cellist.

The following nonsense, while not strictly a clerihew, expands on that form and keeps its cheeky spirit. The actions described are completely made up.
















Practice Makes Perfect


Pablo Casals,
A sensible fellow,
Avoided cabals,
And mastered the cello.


Others would plot,
But Pablo would play,
He did it a lot,
And day after day


While playing for tips
On the sidewalks and streets,
Repeated his trips
Through the Bach cello suites.
