a mozartful mash up

If the ear for the magic flute has atrophied with faith insufficient to counter konvenience, the kryste of kommerce, to allow its hearing, which is following, then she, ridiculously recalcitrantly popping out three weeks late, the latest of nineteen, maternal first cousins, yes she, the long lingering last, to be tutored by a turtle she gets for a pet at the Missouri state fair (gratis eldest and first Cousin Jeanne) verily to tarry the most purposeless of tortoises pausing to sniff every rose to record in the purplest possible prose, she, pipsqueak par excellence, the baby beyond babyhood and the yonder of youth, the spoiled brat worst, setting out in the sheer perversity and misanthropy of a three year old during a temper tantrum, in sufficient hatred of self and the whole fallen world -- bounced down so far and hard can't help bumping my head on the top of the sky -- will finally arrive, at her leisure, to grab the grail and slurp up the stuff,  ohhh ohhh dear it's killing me! my famous fickleness fried in the ferocious flames--  aaaaooooo!  -- God help me it's turning me good! -- where  RG said GBS said that Mozart said the most serious thing in the lightest way possible, but I can't find any indication that GBS said that, and decades later RG said that he said it himself (but the veiled prophet (the real one, not the white boy chosen for the veiled klan's procession on the other side of town from the state fair)  didn't want to show off I guess).  In any case, the resourceful intrepid who can figure out how to find and retrieve the few pages of the unfinished score stored in a recently cobbled up Cagibi, or broom closet, will hear it singing, the layers and layers of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star a thousand kisses deep in a yet more virulent variation for the unvaccinated, as the maestro, by now long on the wrong side of history, grotesquely, blasphemously resurrected, caked with mud, crawling with worms, indefinitely out of favor with the court, drowns in debt and obscurity.
