Poem with a Title Longer than its Stanza

I love this poem. By David Musgrave; appeared recently in the New Yorker

ON THE INEVITABLE DECLINE INTO
MEDIOCRITY OF THE POPULAR MUSICIAN WHO
ATTAINS A COMFORTABLE MIDDLE AGE

O Sting, where is thy death?


- David Musgrave


Naive reader's response: Why Sting?
