Meredith Willson (18 May 1902 – 15 June 1984) had a varied and successful career as a musician, but is best remembered for his Broadway musicals.
Meredith Willson’s Lament
His surname had an extra “el;”
It must have been a private hell
To have a name outside the norms
When filling out official forms.
He could have changed it or withhelld it,
But that’s the way the family spellled.
