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
