Said Gershwin to friends in the press,
“This Hardy libretto’s a mess!
Though I’m an admirer,
I’ll stick with my Ira.
Who’d want to see Porgy and Tess?”

I danced to the music of Strauss
In a graceful Viennese waltz
All the evening I spun
I had so much fun
In the arms of my wonderful spouse.

Found a fragmented score in a sock;
Said he, “It is too curt
To be by Franz Shoe-bert,
But it smells more like Foote than like Bach.”

Then I become a trifle spiteful
And the following words address to the Muse
“How can you me to amuse refuse!”
