A WORLD FAMOUS CONDUCTOR

A world famous conductor

left his wife who sang beautifully

for a young woman with short red hair

Who was it, you ask? I will tell you this

much: she sang in Carnegie Hall

and wore large sunglasses

and was quite angry

How angry, 

you ask?

Not so angry as to change 

the color of her hair to red

or to sing more than once

about iguanas or empresses

of China

or to die in any way

that one might call

unnatural.
