Timothy Hicks Poet Clerihew

Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift's
priorities could sell for a dime,
for his greatest wish
was to be big and small, all at the same time.



NOTE: Jonathan Swift was the author of Gulliver's Travels.

Paul Callus October 22, 2014 at 12:32 PM A fitting Clerihew for JSwift. Gulliver's Travels was my first literature book at secondary school and I loved it, perhaps because I had a great English teacher who showed us what was 'behind' the story. // paul Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 10:12 AM Gulliver's Travels is a fantastic story! So many lessons to learn and what an imaginative mind he had! Appreciate your visits, always!

Richard D Seal June 5, 2013 at 11:16 AM Great book and JS was also a great poet. Nice one Tim Timothy Hicks June 5, 2013 at 11:25 PM It was one of the most bizarre books I've ever read... but it sure does stick in my memory! I'm amazed by how it was fairly easy to comprehend despite the fact it's almost three hundred years old.
