Poems To Be Read Aloud

This is an odd section really. The poems included in the book range from Rudyard Kipling (If) to Emily Dickinson (I'm nobody! Who are you?), from William Shakespeare (All the World's a Stage) to Oscar Wilde (Symphony in Yellow) and I can't for the life of me see what they have in common or why they should be read out loud compared to the ones they think should be read quietly.
Nevertheless I have written a poem which is specifically to be read aloud. It's called

You can't please everyone

"What music do you want at the party?"
Asked Ann, as they planned at the table.
"We need something for everyone coming,
For Mike and for Martha and Mabel,
And for everyone else we've invited
From Aaron to Yasmin and Zeke.
We've got to find something that's perfect
If it takes us the rest of the week."

Well...
Karen and Aaron like disco,
While for Xavier and Dave it is Punk.
Yasmin and Jasmine like anything
As long as they're rip-roaring drunk.
Ophelia and Celia like choral
But Thelma and Velma like folk.
Paul and Saul both suggested Val Doonican,
But I think it was said as a joke.
Quentin and Fenton like Cher
At least that is what I surmise
From the things that they do with their hair
And the make-up they put on their eyes.
Wendy and Lindy are fans
Of Beethoven, Mozart and Bach
While Harry and Gary each Sunday
Watch the brass bands that play in the park.
Imelda and Zelda love jazz bands
As long as it's something quite trad
And Ernie and Bernie love metal
If it's loud and it's fast and it's bad.
Umberto and his brother Roberto
Should like rhythms exotic and Latin
But have raved about Welsh Male Voice Choirs
Since the Eisteddfod they saw in Prestatyn.
And finally Nina and Mina
Don't care for music at all
Maybe we should call off the party
As I think it might end in a brawl.
