Köchel Doodle Do (1 & 2)

(1)

When you eyes are beginning to glaze

Having studied your Köchel for days,

You can show erudition

Naming each composition

And its place in Mozartian K.s.

(2)

Though your friends hope that it’s only a phase,

And react with bewildered malaise,

Put it all in Excel

And they might respond well

When Köchel’s amassed in arrays.

Kerning

There are those who devotedly yearn

For this day and its yearly return,

When they get out their tome

Of the works of Jerome, ---

Not the Saint of the Desert, but Kern.
