I'm mad about music,
As mad as can be;
There's no one much madder
On music than me.
I'm nuts about Chopin,
I'm crackers on Strauss;
On Bach and Beethoven
I'm simply bughouse.
I'm crazy on Delius,
Holst and Scarlatti;
On Mozart and Verdi
I'm out-and-out batty.
I'm dotty on everything
Rubbra has written,
And I'm barmy, yes, barmy
On Benjamin Britten.

The poet prefaced this poem with this quote:
"I'm nuts on Chopin" – President Truman.
