Variations on the Name of Sondheim

1)

A fanatical musical nerd

From his perch in the lobby and averred,

“This music of Sondheim

Creates such a bond, I’m

Utterly shaken and stirred.”

2) 

To a passionate public which dotes

On his musicals (lyrics and notes),

Said the late Stephen Sondheim,

“As a ghost from Beyond, I’m

Indifferent to temporal votes.”
