Ode to Music

What's with all this affrettando?
Let's take it a little adagio.
Why always allegro?
Too much agitati.
Get with the dolcissimo
A touch of the Tempo primos.
Suits the patetico.
Lusingando, caressingly.
Gives a sense of brio.
Con anima, con anima.
Teneramento, tenramento.
For those of us with nobilmento.
Those of us who will not pass silently.
But martello the hours and the tempo.
