Five Lines Twice on Six Quartets
(1)
A string player never forgets
An encounter with Bartók's quartets,
Which should best be rehearsed
With some breaks interspersed
For rather less arduous sets.

Give a shot at some Bartók quartets,"
But before they were done
The succumbed one by one
To febrile Hungarian sweats.
