In a surprise press release, negotiators for God and Satan have
revealed that they are nearing a settlement. What originally began as
a secret bargain to swap the souls of corrupt popes for the those of
Galileo and Voltaire has developed into wide-ranging negotiations.
According to sources, Satan is willing to renounce some of the more
egregious violent crimes in exchange for premarital sex, and certain
forms of theft by deception. Though both sides claim to be optimistic,
the talks have hit some rough areas, particularly pertaining to the
ownership of the Religious Right.

Beethoven's gone but his music lives on
and Mozart don't go shopping no more.
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again
and Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and
love whiles composing their long symphony.
But one hundred and fifty years later
there's very little of them left to see.
The decomposing composers.
There's nothing much anyone can do.
You can still hear Beethoven
but Beethoven cannot hear you.
H{ndel and Haydn and Rachmaninov
enjoyed a nice drink with their meal.
But nowadays no one will serve them
and their grave it is left to conceal.
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
with their highly original sound.
The pianos like Pleyel does still working
but thereabout six feet under ground.
The decomposing composers.
There's less of them every year.
