Sappho
didn't want a beau
she wrote about her lesbian passion
and that sort of thing is always in fashion

posted too late for the clerihew contest!

This is good! She did that and more! Love the witty take, Jack. Too bad about not making it to the contest, though. That makes the two of us then. :-) Kim
