His beard is long! It scrapes the floor!
It makes him look quite shrewd and grave -
(A Shavian, he never shaved.)

But told the truth whenever able.
A noted modern dramatist,
And famous epigrammatist,
He'd love to epi- me or you.
I'd like to epigram him too:

In my next life I'm marrying you. Life would never be dull.

ReplyDeleteOoh, like the keyboard in BIG! See, that wouldn't be dull.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on typing with my feet. I'm a touch-foot typist.
ReplyDeleteNice work, coming from a beardless poet.
