Limerick for Writing.com Birthday!

There once was a man named Lear,
up from the ground he appeared;
and he wrote many words
that were sung by the herds
of the men who drink way too much beer!

The next one he fell from the sky,
All the while he straightened his tie,
Lear was in awe,
At the one called Shaw,
As he prepared a freshly baked pie,

The last two appeared on the scene,
They both cried “It must be obscene!”;
Legman and Bennett
They whined like the Senate
Then wrote dirty songs for the Queen!
