Dear Johann Pachelbel,
Ache my heart does in this cell.
Breaking with displeasure,
From 56 repetitious measures.
Gouge out my eyes;
Deafen my ears to hear no more cries.
Goodness, get the gist!
Another angry cellist.

The author's comments:
This is supposed to be a slightly humourous piece. I am a cellist, and I absolutely despise Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor. The cello part is horrible. I wrote this ode to him and his piece, explaining how much I hate him. Pay special attention to the first letter of each line. Any cellist who has played the piece before has a good chance of figuring it out. ;)
