Explanation

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Will seldom be seen in a meme,

But though you may curse

He appears in light verse

Since his name fits the rhythmical scheme.

Artful Ways

Jobim always strove to express

His soul with a subtle finesse,

Using rhythmic refinement

In beguiling alignment

With a voice like a gentle caress.
