Again Is Again Is Again


Vivaldi amused the Venetians

   Scribbling scores with a blazing abundance;

They flowed from his soul like secretions

   Unfazed by amazing redundance.

Bio-picky


Von Wilm wrote a large number of two- and four handed piano pieces for the young.—  translated from de.wikipedia


There has never been a film

About Nicolai von Wilm,

Who wrote a ton of pieces for beginners.

Were there omens in the sky

That von Wilm (that’s Nicolai)

Would never be portrayed by Oscar winners?
