Limerick Savant: The cruelest caption

Saturday, September 17, 2005

'Fraid my lastest verse can only be found at Blog D'Elisson in the comments.

Elisson said...: A classic - and it could also be taken to refer to this post.

If so, my riposte would be:

The Limerick Savant complains
That the sight of my friends causes pains.
Those well-dressed drunken guys
Are like pins in his eyes,
Jammed right in to the depth of his brains.; September 16, 2005 1:21 PM
Anonymous said...: When I die
Please do not cry.
I will leave you riches,
A knife, a fork,
A cabbage stalk,
And a pair of mouldy breeches.

Hmmmm....I think it needs a little more work.; September 18, 2005 11:57 AM
Gunga Dan said...: Only one problem. It's T. S. Eliot who wrote "April is the cruelest month"!

Other than that, nice work lately...

The Limerick Savant said...: Boy, is my face red! Seems the Savant was the one perpetrating the lie. Shame on me for that mistake.

It gave me a chance to do a rewrite. It's more alliterative and, after all, "Eliot" is an anagram of "to lie."

This photo would seem to imply
T.S. Eliot told us a lie:
Twas April, most cruel,
When I learned it in school;
Now the case could be made for July?; September 19, 2005 8:31 AM
