Arpeggio and Staccato

A tenor to my soprano
You sing duets, I solo
A voice low and legato
Mine a spray of staccato.
So many opuses you know,
My songs are never apropos.

Serenade beneath my window
Dreamt of a timbre largo -
The window was non aperto,
Would you take it from Da Capo?
Could we harmonize in tempo,
Arpeggio and staccato?

I'll hide outside your window,
But my voice may sound horrendo.
When you sing it's in staccato,
When I sing its like el gato.

You make music to my ear drummos,
My heart beats with a thrummo.
Your voice can do that to me,
You don't like it?  Then just sue me.  :P

Corinne - I love your great sense of humor.

Graci, LgnJhn,

I was beginning to think no one got this one!
Molti ringraziamenti!

No sweeter duet can be heard
Than hearts in sync harmonies blurred
In poets chorus Agitatao
Andante or stacatto

You just get better and better

Ok ok...I'm going to be highly unoriginal and agree with Wilfred that you do indeed get better and better...

love it!

silky surface of the Severn...
it was a famously difficult
river with fierce tides..."
