You probably don’t care a bit
To celebrate Herr Aloys Schmitt,
Whose Preparatory Exercises
Everyone who plays despises.
Though his method trains their fingers,
It’s a book where no one lingers
With their hands in fixed positions
Filled with starry-eyed ambitions
Hoping to become musicians.
It’s far more likely that they’ll quit
Than tolerate Herr Aloys Schmitt.
