At Least It's Not a Haiku


Today it's a limerick in which

I ran myself into a ditch

Since my verse was confined

To a form that's five lined

While sketching a portrait of Skitch.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was one of the greatest composers of all time.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amadeus Redux


Though Mozart was duly assessed

As one whom the Muses had blessed,

His life in Alt Wien,

Which you've seen on the screen,

Was chaotic, and harried, and stressed.
