from Academic Graffiti
George Herbert
Once tried ordering sherbet
On Salisbury Plain:
He ordered in vain.
* * *
Sir Rider Haggard
Was completely staggered
When his bride-to-be
Announced, "I AM SHE!"
* * *
Thomas Hardy
Was never tardy
When summoned to fulfill
The Immanent Will.
* * *
No one could ever inveigle
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Into offering the slightest apology
For his Phenomenology.
* * *
When Karl Marx
Found the phrase "financial sharks,"
He sang a Te Deum
In the British Museum.
* * *
Mr. Robert Liston
Used his saw like a piston:
He was that elated
When he amputated.
– W.H. Auden (1952-70)
