PADEREWSKI IN DENVER

10 the prosperous town Of Denver
To that thriving, bustling city,
Came one day great musician.
Slender-nngered, huge of scalp-lock,
Paddy Roosky, the people called him,
Though he himself pronounced It dif"
ferent,
Pah -thref-sky, he said his name was.
And the people thronged to hear hin
Struggled madly at the box office,
Paid S. for at ticket
Just to hear this sweet musician
Then the gifted Paddy Roosky
Made his bow before the audience,
Who in silence sat exDectant,
Ana began To use entertainments
And to practice arts OF magic.
First he squared himself for business.
Iimbered up his joints trife.
Shook his yellow topknot somewhat,
And his little eyes glared at them
Like the piercing eyes of Pawguk.
Then he smote the grand piano
In way that was caution
To those primatiye folk Of Denver
First he began with adagio.
Very slow and stately playing.
Sometimes changing 10 allegro
Or staccato, smooth and gliding.
Swelling into loud crescendo,
Sinking into soft piano,
And even into pianissimo.
Then he changed his tactics somewhat
Turned little more Of steam on,
Pounded loudly like All forte,
Seemed as IL the wood was Chopin.
And the folk, as they List To him.
Stared in wonder AZ the clatter
Didn't understand the motif
Or ascertain what he was up to.
So they sat awhile In patience,
Listening to the various noises,
Waiting for an air familiar,
Till fhey couldn't stand II longer
With cry they rose as one man,
Shouted for a change Of programme.
Sweet Marie" they demanded OF him
