The Velvet Gentleman

The French artiste Erik Satie
Did place his cup indiscreetly
On velvet love seat
That one did entreat,
"Set tea, did Satie, on settee?"

Brings to mind a friend's trip from Manhattan to Delaware via New Jersey:

"New Commute"

There once was a man from New York
Who set out to go to NewARK
With no trace of despair
He saw Delaware
But first had to go through NEWerk

Satie was a nuanced composer
No post-modern music bulldozer
His work, avant-garde
Once held low regard
For dada was not a deal closer
