VERDI'S REQUIEM

 (with apologies to his countrymen, 
                        especially the Gambino Family)

A composer whose name was "Giuseppe"

Wrote a Requiem ever-so-peppy.

When heard by the Pope,

He shook his head "Nope!",

"I'm-a supposed to be-a sad, 
                                    but I'm-a heppy!?"
