Luciano Pavarotti
sang for the posh and snotty
how his songs proved mighty popular
that old fat tum of the Opera...

   A blazing orange sun emits sparks
     setting against a blue-sky backdrop

   A surge of electricity in the soul
     as Pavarotti crosses the stage

   The crowd rises to its feet as one for the final time
     as the great Babe Ruth hits number 714

    I take your hand in mine......

The show is not over
Until the Fat Lady sings .
House lights will dim
And the last curtain brings
The fading applause for each magical note
The Large Gentleman sang ,
That could float every boat .

Each time Nessun Dorma
May cause you to weep .
There is one more bright star
That knows "None Shall Sleep" ..........

Goodbye, Luciano,
easing through death's door,
no more thy voice shall soar.

Farewell, Luciano,
no longer croon ‘O Sole Mio’
to take thee back to Sorrento.

Adios, Luciano,
unto a peaceful slumber deep,
from the world's travails escape.

Hark! Enrico Caruso,
bid the angels welcome Luciano
into the heavenly choir in the sky....

His life of song
Did not go wrong.
First early flight
Soared up so right
That year on year
Grew height on height.

His passioned voice
Gave fast rejoice
To all who heard.
Not nature's bird,
But manhood's good,
His star-flung word.

No galaxy
That men can see
Has half the shine
Of this man's mind.
Space-trips through lips----
His soul's gold mine....

Naughty Potty Pavarotti



There was a young man named Pavarotti
His parents thought he was rather naughty
Because he sang tenor
He could not draw banger
For his mom made him sit on the potty.

At the time I wrote this I was going to enter it into a contest
but as always I missed the contest. Oh well chalk it up to another

a singing barber raises his voice to sing 
beautiful songs that make the hair take note    
cutting round the ear   
dadaism heeds, as   
each  falling hair sings down to the floor  

fabulous songs from Pavarotti brings  
glacier eyes against a miserable grump  
here is your hat Mister  Linus  
I wasn't trying to be mean  
just wanted your hair to have a good time !

These are the songs in my heart,
These are the songs I want to sing,
These are the songs that resonate in me,
They are the lively tunes that awaken me,
They set my feet on course,
They fan awake my sleeping embers,
Why are they old and forgotten songs?
Why have they gone backstage?
Why have we made the best of
 Louis Pavarotti decomposing melodies?
A man's instrument is his strength, 
His gift is sombre without strength....
