The Repeat Not Taken

Two discs impinge on a mellow mood
And sorry I could not combine both
And have one version, long I sat
and listened whilst I stroked the cat
To where it purred beneath the sofa

Then took the discs to the CD player
And having perhaps the better sound
Because it was lossy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the playing there
Had scratched them up about the same,

And both that morning equally play,
Brahms Fourth not conducted by a Hack,
Oh, I kept the First for another day!
I doubted if the applause was the claque.

I shall be hearing this with some wine
Sometime in future whence
Two conductors diverged from the score, not fine -
I took the one less mangled by
A conductor whose tempos made more sense.
