When Joey Fatone
Struck out on his own,
Putting the boy band behind him,
He did this and that
At the drop of a hat,
And you never knew where you might find him.

Giovanni Battista Velluti (28 January 1780 – 22 January 1861), was an Italian castrato soprano.
A Changed World
Giovanni Battista Velluti was last
Of the line of the castrated stars;
And when he retired the era had passed
Of post-orchiectomy scars.
We still go to surgeons to alter our looks,
For work on our breasts and our faces,
But castrati are now in the history books,
And boys become tenors and basses.
