Doctor Johnson Cried Out
Doctor Sam Johnson
In London one day
Cried out, “ ‘Twould be awesome
To look up a word, in a book say,
In order to ensure that the spellings are right
Of all of the words that are written these days.
(Not that I need it, but Boswell you might).”
And so he set out to write one, and so it arrived,
Revolutionary, resplendent, in the
Year of Our Lord, seventeen hundred and fifty five.
