Madam, I'm Adam
After her Met career, she appeared on Broadway in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pipe Dream, playing a bordello madame with a heart of gold and the voice of Isolde. - adapted from Wikipedia
Imagine the innocent fellow
Who goes to his local bordello
And is met at the door
By a Rubenesque whore
In a healthy Wagnerian bellow.
