      What about the nursery rhyme? I can only find two with Ks: Old King Cole and Three Little Kittens.

      Nat King Cole??

        cloughie got a thumbs up for Koechlin

        don't know if that means Koechlin is the overall answer and we have to work backwards from there

        I'm not particularly aware of monkeys being kept in bags

            Koechlin isn't the overall answer but a part of one of the three clues.

              Koechlin's Jungle Book monkeys appeared in an AA question last year

                  Could it be that those of us who have never Kippled are at a disadvantage?

                      oh, OK

                      I wonder if K is going to be Kipling, as set by three different composers

                        "WILL there never come a season
                        Which shall rid us from the curse
                        Of a prose which knows no reason
                        And an unmelodious verse:
                        When the world shall cease to wonder
                        At the genius of an ass,
                        And a boy’s eccentric blunder
                        Shall not bring success to pass:
                        When mankind shall be delivered
                        From the clash of magazines,
                        And the inkstand shall be shivered
                        Into countless smithereens:
                        When there stands a muzzled stripling,
                        Mute, beside a muzzled bore:
                        When the Rudyards cease from kipling
                        And the Haggards ride no more."


                        [James Kenneth Stephen; 1859-1892]

                              More or less - one setting and two close connections.

                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
