Limericks Crocheted: Once a Bitter Literary Critic
Limericks crochetés: Once a bitter literary critic
Once a bitter literary critic
Tore to bits his own manuscript thick
When asked politely why
He cursed and swore most high
His fans believed it to be some trick
For many a year he reigned tyrant
And column in weekly turned virulent
Books by millions sold
His pages manifold
One talked of him at every event
At parties talk-shows subways cocktails
All broke silences with pent-up wails
What could be the matter
What brought on the chatter
What caused the paper to soar in sales?*
*I would like to know. Thanks.
