When You Wish Upon a Sitar
George Harrison, who played guitar,
Was noted as a quiet star,
Who with a spirit soft and gentle
Yearned for something transcendental.
He found his transcendental bridge in
Western drugs and Eastern religion.

Vocational Counseling
“[A]t the age of 11, the boy was apprenticed to a mechanical engineer who constructed public water fountains.” -- Wikipedia
Caruso’s parents duly made
Their plans to give their son a trade.
He was, in his eleventh year,
Apprenticed to an engineer,
Which would have been a fine career...
But what a difference for Caruso
That he opted not to do so!
