Virtuoso

A short and silly poem.  The first stanza is true. The second isn't, but I wish it were. 

                                                                    Virtuoso


                                              Fritz Kreisler was hit by a truck in 1941.
                                              When he came out of his month-long coma,
                                              he could speak only Latin and Greek.

                                             With time, his language became more
                                             modern until finally he asked,
                                             “Doc, will I be able
                                             to play the violin?”
