AN ODE TO MY OPERA COACH
11.21.18
My Rs can be chewy and my L has a tail, dark vowels are my pal where diphthongs prevail.
My line loves to punch & my jaw likes to hold, your ears are acute when my phrase leaves you cold.
My oo drives you nuts when it’s shallow and small,
I rise to the task so my tuning won’t fall.
Just one note to find, you say and repeat, I gather my mouth, a sausage defeat.
Bernlina, banana, amore, amor, enjoy now your birthday, new joys to explore.
Happy Birthday, my coach extraordinaire, Giovanni Longo! May it be a stellar year, indeed. — with Giovanni Longo and 2 others.
