Dorothy Parker

A Pig’s-Eye View of Literature

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.
