Immortal
John Williams now is ninety-one,
Which doesn’t mean the man is done.
In fact, he might be moving toward
His sixth Academy Award.
And if he gets that statuette,
It may not be his last one yet.

Explanation
It is said of a John Williams score
That it’s always first rate and top drawer;
When Williams is scoring
It never gets boring.
And the crux of the thing? More is more.
