Happy Birthday, Beethoven! (Limerick and Haiku)

Monday, December 16th, 2024

It’s December 16, the birthday of one of my favorite composers, Ludwig van Beethoven. And to celebrate, I’ve written both a limerick and a haiku:

Since it’s Beethoven’s birthday, please laud
All his great compositions. Applaud!
And don’t ask me to choose
Which is best. I’d need booze!
And there’s no room for boos when I’m awed.

*****

Cacophonic sounds
often spewed by symphonies–
Bring back Beethoven!
