Mitzi Gaynor (b. 4 September 1931) is an American actress, singer, and dancer.
The Same Question Twice; or, The Long and Short of It
Mitzi Gaynor was born as Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber. A Fox Studio executive thought that Mitzi Gerber sounded like the name
of a delicatessen, and they came up with a name that used the same
initials. - adapted from Wikipedia
Did executives care if the fact would disturb her,
When changing her name from Francesca von Gerber?
In short, did it pain her
To become Mitzi Gaynor?

Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 – 11 October 1896) was one of the great late nineteenth century symphonists.
Long and Long of It
There are people who fuss
That when Bruckner takes wing,
He’s indifferent to us
About ending the thing.
It was not his intention
To be brief or laconic
As he showed his invention
While evading the tonic.
