Nicola Porpora (17 August 1686 – 3 March 1768) was a fine composer and a great singing teacher.
Almost
Nicola Porpora three years in a row
May strike you as rather too much,
But there aren’t other birthdays you’re likely to know,
So we’ll have to make do in a clutch.
Nicola Porpora never quite flowered;
He spent his whole career on the brink,
At every new job his relationships soured,
Which sums it all up, I should think.

Mae West (17 August 1893 – 22 November 1980) was an American stage and film actress, playwright, screenwriter, and singer.
Mae the Force
I’m really not going to suggest
That the singing of actress Mae West
Was the part if her act
That did most to attract —-
I think that that part was her chest.
