Liberace (16 May 1919 – 4 February 1987) was a popular pianist who used a classical technique for arrangements of light and popular songs, all of which was overshadowed by his flamboyant showmanship.
Flamboyant, Not Clairvoyant
Liberace denied he was gay
In a firm but improbable way;
But try not to judge him,
Tsk-tsk, or begrudge him,
It's what a man did in his day.

More Is More Is More
So here's what he'd want you to know
Of his over-extravagant show:
Don't take just a cake
If the baker can make
A genoise, or a torte, or gateau.
