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
