Serenade

With a grotesquely outsized bow

Pierrot scrapes on his viola.

Like a stork on one leg,

He plucks a doleful pizzicato.

Suddenly here's Cassander -- raging

At the nighttime virtuoso --

With a grotesquely outsized bow

Pierrot scrapes on his viola.

He tosses the viola aside,

With his left hand delicately

Takes Sir Baldy by the collar --

Dreamily he plays on his pate

With a grotesquely outsized bow.
