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
