A panel of expert adjudicators has selected the following verses for the music industry’s most coveted award, the 2023 Slippedisc Limerick trophy:

There once was a man called Viotti
Who almost displayed parts quite knotty,
He climbed on the rocks,
In nothing but socks,
And thought he was really hot totty.

Author: La Plus Belle Voix

There was quite a good band from Brum
Whose conductor showed off his bum.
When asked to explain
The Chief Exec said “once again..
it’s so we get new people to come”

Author: William Shakeshaft

One could argue (I guess) he’s a cutie.
Nonetheless, I adjudge it my duty
To urge others: “Don’t pose
With your dangling hose
On display (do you hear, Signor Muti?)!”

Author: Adam Stern

At the end of this year so rotten
(Arguably best forgotten)
We can all unite
At the gladsome sight
Of a conductor scraping the bottom.

    That my offering epigrammatic

    Was adjudged Best in Show

    Of Lorenzo’s displays problematic).

  • Innominato 32 says:

    I know a world famous, ancient conductor (married, male) who likes to send “Weiner-style” selfies to singers (female) and musicians (female). In this day and age …
    And now, Judging from what I’m reading, it may be the worst kept secret in the industry!!!

  • FT says:

    You are just jalous.

    Phemomenal! The Bard would be proud!

  • William Shakeshaft says:

    Cheers Rob, and while I am obviously completely chuffed, and would like to take this opportunity to thank the esteemed judging panel, I will not jump with common spirits and rank me with the barbarous multitudes.

  • Theophilus says:

    This maestro make think he looks strong
    But he’s got it all seriously wrong.
    The conductor’s role
    Is to bare his raw soul,
    Not to barely cover his schlong.

    You may call me a terrible prude
    But some photos ought never be viewed.
    The maestro’s composure
    But over-exposure
    Is lacking in taste, if not lewd.
