Actions and Consequences


The cheerful songs of Bacharach

Were on a podcast back-to-back,

And some who hate that sixties vibe

Were therefore moved to unsubscribe.

Chanson triste


One never should holler or bray

When they’re singing the songs of Fauré,

For the critics agree

That the French mélodie

Should be sung in a finicky way.
