Nobel Prize Can Surprise

Grand Citations of The Still Sober In Neared Radios of Fresh October And one had in mind a Graham Greene But - Lo! - Some Newly Discovered Being: “Greene had a bit got sensational, His rejection not intentional. Next, Some Writer with Proverbial Gun But-Sorry-Rubber Bullets of Fun A Gordimer Admirer piteous But to Nobel “Pharisee-Righteous” And therefore, should not cross The Gate At its Precincts continue to wait… A Rock Musician surprised by it: He hadn’t realized The Candle lit: Said to have delayed Letter of Thanks, Afraid of Enemies’ Armored Tanks! But his had been Years of Passion What he did poetically fashion. Churchill for “Speeches that fought Hitler” How dare you hold such effort littler? Pleasantest Surprise: Albert Camus? With Dagger-Point Sentences he slew; Calculate it: at just Forty Four Clarity had him pushed to The Fore… Nobel Prizes don’t aim to surprise But might keep coming as A Surprise!
