Bohemian Reveille

Wakening to the sound of myriad birds Chattering on in their first morning chorus Then comes the first intermission Silence which usually wakes the bride This is broken by the aria of the day A rather boring repetitious rendition Until the back up choir blends in Louder than before jaggedly joyous Second intermission is somewhat longer As whatever available petite fours And petillant fruits disappear prior To the return of the full ensemble The earliest writers of opera Had to have been early risers
