Credit Deficit
Fred Ahlert’s songs have held their own,
Which is how it surely should be;
Yet his name is not well known,
As you’d think it surely would be.

Paul Williams (b. 19 September 1940) is an American composer, singer, songwriter and actor.
Breezy Listening
Paul Williams has a pleasant way
Of saying what he has to say.
He never strains himself to sound
Heaven-shaking or profound.
And though the sentiments are sloppy,
They’re gentle, crystal-clear, and poppy.
