Franz
                  Liszt

‘They called it Lisztomania.. Women went so crazy when Franz Liszt’s fingers touched a piano that doctors seriously believed that his fandom was a mental illness epidemic... When a concert was over, the riots began. Women would swarm onto the stage... Eventually, it got to be a bit much.’

 
Readily, steadily,                                                                                      
Liszt the Hungarian
fended off groupies who
couldn’t resist                                                                                           
                                                                           
hounding him everywhere,
Lisztomaniacally.
How many groupies? Too
many to Liszt.
