Limerick Ode To Charles Dickens

Happy Birthday, Charles Dickens! (February 7, 1812 – June 9, 1870) And happy Charles Dickens Day!

Limerick Ode To Charles Dickens
By Madeleine Begun Kane

What day is today? The plot thickens:
It’s the birthday of author Charles Dickens,
Whose serial fiction
(For some an addiction)
Never suffered from slim verbal pickin’s.

    Two hundred and one – yesterday.
    Here and now what would you say?
    “I love the ebook;
    All public can look
    – And that should mean increase in pay!”
