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.
