Pursuit in Vain
It’s never been clear who’s “so vain”
In spite of an active campaign
To pressure and parley
To try to get Carly
To explain her most famous refrain.

French composer Gustave Charpentier (25 June 1860 – 18 February 1956) had an improbably long life and one highly successful opera.
Style Points
Perhaps the appropriate way
Of fêting Monsieur Charpentier
Is by playing Louise
On LPs or CDs
While uncorking a nice cabernet.
