A Pig's-Eye View Of Literature

By Dorothy Parker

The Lives and Times of John Keats,

   Percy Bysshe Shelley, and

George Gordon Noel, Lord Byron

 Byron and Shelley and Keats

 Were a trio of Lyrical treats.

The forehead of Shelley was cluttered with curls,

And Keats never was a descendant of earls,

And Byron walked out with a number of girls,

But it didn't impair the poetical feats

 Of Byron and Shelley,

 Of Byron and Shelley,

Of Byron and Shelley and Keats.
