Another poem about another great piece of classical music, (and Russian again!)! Thanks for reminding me about what it was all about. I think you have done a good job of describing it!

Hilarious! Did this really happen? In a school? Very funny, and great characters. Is it based on real memories or characters?

A fitting description of the piece and of the event. I like Stravinsky, and I always thought the Russians created a lot of the best 'classical' music! Now I have read this I must listen to the famous piece again!
