To... Sir,



Dear Mr. van Beethoven,

what rhymeth with thy name?
Be it to thee, sir, and beh'oven,
that so few words sound the same?

(If this might be a game
we play - I'd choose, beyond 'interwoven',
to say the musical frame,
and the written are nearly uncloven ...
(and no-one's to blame
it'll be fore'er unproven.))

Still, why is it your given name, "Ludwig",
presents a challenge yet more truly big?
