A Trilogy of connectected poems - Mozart Millais and Me! Part One Music

Part One

MUSIC

Mozart belonged to a Masonic Lodge
Thought subversive, so he needed a dodge,
Composing great music that was his thing,
So he composed something fit for a king.

Helped by the Librettist Carlo Ponti,
He hoped his music would please royalty.
So he penned a march or was it a waltz,
Salierie, his friend, was yet to prove false.

Mozart never without a melody,
Had somehow put his life in jeopardy,
Sly Salierie had devised a plot,
That somehow would make sure he got the lot.

Though it would be difficult to conclude,
The rumour is, he doctored Mozart’s food.
Did Salierie murder the great man?
It seems odd when he was his biggest fan.
