Jimmy Van Heusen (26 January 1913 – 6 February 1990) was an American composer of popular songs.
Art Is Politics
One won’t find political views in
The songbook of Jimmy Van Heusen,
Though some hold the theory
That we ought to be leery,
And that nothing is merely amusin’.

The Jimmy Van Heusen revue
Used mics for the band and the crew,
But the set had a myriad
Of props from the period,
And the sound didn’t match with the view.
