Listen to poem:
2. Aria Twain kindred souls start slow and reunite, Same as lovers who split and then made up, Though, twas a mere slow dance, a Pavane, Taming a dance floor with their passive feet, As Faure's piece fades, delayed music mix, Next, a minuet by Beethoven in G Major, No 2, Couples one hand clasped together both leads, Men's other handheld scepters extend outward, While the ladies other handholds to their dresses, As the tipsy tune plays like a Lawrence Welk Show. Now a livelier pace quickens hearts and dancers alike, For it is a waltz by Johann Strauss' Acceleration Waltz, Stimulates even barstool occupant whose head swoon, An ever do-nothing lethargic will enable them to move, One-step two-step then turn and bow to your partners. Lovers exchange worshipping lips more than small kisses, As the orchestra prepares for their tune, rather off-tuned, Nonetheless, a number by Puccini's Nessum Dorma sung, Magically, breaths held, as his name was just announced, The virtuoso, Luciano Pavarotti will sing that famous aria. 2020 January 11
