Modernist Fernand Leger
elievdd in art as social care
His genretook a moral view
for pure aesthetic he did eschew

Leaping across the leger in groups of four
Triadic eighth notes danced while half notes slow,
Take their time beneath, just resting in the score
Seldom interrupting the lyrical flow.
Comes an occasional ornamental turn
In Chopin’s inimitable style, a test,
For all intermediate students to learn
Next, because of this prickly teacher’s request.
