Noël Coward (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) was an English playwright, composer, director, actor, and singer.
Defeated
A critic’s demeanor was soured
As he read through the lyrics of Coward –
He couldn’t find one
That was faultily done,
No matter how closely he scoured.
François-Adrien Boieldieu (16 December 1775 – 8 October 1834) was a French composer, best known for his operas. [The verse below was previously published mistakenly on a different date.]
Taking a Stand
It wasn’t exactly by chance
That he chose this most elegant stance,
For he was, we surmise,
Very proud of his thighs,
And had quite the best calves in all France.
Alice Parker (b. 16 December 1925) is an American composer, arranger, conductor, and teacher.
Pshaw Parker
No one’s mood has gotten darker
While singer songs by Alice Parker!
