The mighty organ thundered
In a symphony of noise,
The audience held spellbound
By the organmaster's poise.
His fingers moved efficiently
With firmness on the keys,
Creating great crescendos
With apparent joy and ease.
The music on his manuscript
Would awe most mortal men.
Notes stacked deep upon the staff
To sound and sound again.
Repeated phrases filled the air
In never ending line,
The last with sameness of the first
Through skillful intertwine.
At midpoint in the concert
I arose and took a walk--
I can't abide the music
Of Johann Sebastian Bach !!
