Paradelle for O'Spense

In his dreams the music swells, unchanging
In his dreams the music swells, unchanging
But In his heart he cries "bullshit"
But in his heart he cries "bullshit"
Bullshit He cries in his dreams
But in his heart the unchanging music swells

Definitions procrustean he declares in full humbug
Definitions procrustean he declares in full humbug
"The tones, inapposite, do not impel"
"The tones, inapposite, do not impel"
"The full tones do impel humbug inapposite in definitions not procrustean"
He declares.

Elongated notes do not make pleasing music
Elongated notes do not make pleasing music
Any more than pleonastic phrases make perspicuous poetry
Any more than pleonastic phrases make perspicuous poetry
Pleasing perspicuous notes do make music,
Not elongated pleonastic phrases make any more than poetry.

In unchanging dreams, make bullshit definitions, humbug music,
In his heart pleasing music swells, the perspicuous tones impel,
His procrustean poetry cries phrases inapposite, pleonastic,
"More than any!" he declares in full
"But the elongated notes do not make!"
Do not.
