Decomposing Composers

by CD Richards


Debussy clawed his way up top
Erbach, it's rumored, was Christian
Chopin never wrote a flop
Offenbach made opera his mission
Mendelssohn had few critics
Purcell was born in Westminster
Ortega excelled in obstetrics
Strauss had a wife, and he kissed her
Ives played for Charles (I not II)
Niedermeyer was friends with Rossini
Gershwin was handsome in blue
Carmichael never wore a bikini
Ornstein lived well past a hundred
Mozart, it's said, was precocious
Puccini had women he plundered
Obrecht's masses are not atrocious
Stravinsky was somewhat atonal
Ehrlich's a famous Berliner
Rachmaninov wasn't hormonal
Score's settled, each one was a winner
