Quotes about algernon

The Algernon-Gordon Effect (5-7-5 Poem)

Man considered dumb,
Retardation sufferer.
Lost inside the world.

Now science evolves;
Operation makes him smart,
Genius he soon becomes.

Befriends Algernon,
Lab mouse that got changed before him,
Two geniuses.

Scientists use them.
They run away together;
Scared but not alone

Algernon changes,
Charlie brings him back to lab,
Right back to the start.

Hilaire Belloc

Algernon

Who played with a Loaded Gun, and, on missing his Sister was reprimanded by his Father.

Young Algernon, the Doctor's Son,
Was playing with a Loaded Gun.
He pointed it towards his Sister,
Aimed very carefully, but
Missed her!
His Father, who was standing near,
The Loud Explosion chanced to Hear,
And reprimanded Algernon
For playing with a Loaded Gun.

Drawing a Purple Blank Verse after Gelett BURGESS Purple Cow

DRAWING A PURPLE BLANK VERSE
Kindly refer to notes

I've never cowed to purple prose
know now I'll never write it,
for anyhow true writer knows
hand stretched finds critics bite it.

I've never wowed, and goodness knows
hacks lack the knack of versing,
won't bow, kowtow to backhand blows,
preferring role reverse_sing.

Ah, yes, I wrote on purple prose,
yet can't regret I penned it,
one far prefers rhyme's timeless flows,
no blush need rush defend it.
