No mention of Fiestaware, but some of Tom Lehrer’s lyrics about the Mahlers:
The first one she married was Mahler,
Whose buddies all knew him as Gustav,
And each time he saw her he’d holler:
“Ach, that is the fräulein I must have!”
Their marriage, however, was murdah;
He’d scream to the heavens above:
"I’m writing Das Lied von der Erde
Und she only wants to make love!"
