I LOST MY THESAURUS TODAY

 

I lost my thesaurus today

It was after the exam

I can’t find the words to describe

How upset I am

DICTIONARIES AND LEXICONS

Dictionaries and Lexicons

Are crucial to most authors

TOM SHARPE RIP

 

He wrote Vintage Stuff

Of Riotous Assembly

And Indecent Exposure

He liked his Porterhouse Blue

In The Great Pursuit

And was no Blott on the landscape

Nor was he The Throwback

With Ancestral Vices

And in the end he didn’t die

It was just a simple case of Wilt

WRITER CHARLES DICKENS

 

Writer Charles Dickens

Kept in his kitchen

The best of thymes,

After the prospective Authors submit,

By the publishing house because that

Is the state the receiving editor finds it
