The Lady Or the Tiger

The Lady or the Tiger
Frank Stockton never said
   For if he'd ever told us
   His story'd've dropped dead

Bravo! Brilliant! Superb! Gershon, you've outdone yourself with this Clerihew! I had to "fav"; will want to read that again.

Whoa. Thank you so much for the FAVE. You know, I don't know of a better American short story than this one. I used to regularly assign it to high school students, and can't remember one who didn't get into it bigtime. Now that I only teach part-time (ESL to international students), I find that the same thing is true. Thanks again for all of your support. Best wishes, gw
