Symphonic Gr8ness
Mahler 8 is simply great –
What a way to celebrate,
Even with trumpeters who feel the need
To blast your ears until they bleed.
Choral males commence to rush
Causing conductor to beat and blush.
The children forget to enter when cued
So stuffed are they on pre-show food.
But most sincerely I can tell
You that this epic was an epic sell.
It reached the hearts of those who heard
Even more than Mahler’s 3rd.

I might have sped and stressed the beat of the second and third stanzas thus:

Too stuffed on all that pre-show food.
But most sincerely I you tell
