Famous Author

I cannot tell what the dickens his name is.’
(The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 3, Scene 2)

by Shakespeare

I have a real tale to tell
of two cities.
I need an author
of some note.
I heard of one whose
first name is Charles.
My name is Oliver and by
some twist of fate, I can’t
remember Charles’s last name!
