Variations on a Speculative Theme

In his last surviving letter from 14 October 1791, Mozart told his wife that he had picked up Salieri in his carriage and driven him to the opera. -- Wikipedia

 

(1)

When Mozart ran into Salieri,

He was naturally cautious and wary.

This Italian rival

Was bent on survival,

And had more than a hatchet to bury.

 

(2)

If a writer who writes on Salieri

And Mozart is going  to be fair, he

Has to use tact

To consider each fact,

It’s a danger zone for the unwary.

Tights


There are those who declare it a pity

    When Mikhail Baryshnikov

    Didn't take his trousers off

When appearing on Sex in the City.
