Lymricks of DaVinci

Did the great DaVinci ever write lymricks. No

Did the great Napolean ever dedicate a lymrick to his childhood sweetheart? No.

Did Keats compose lymricks in his basement in the summer heat, with his thickened scry cracking the sheets he had blotted with countless drafts? What?

Did Einstein create a theory of lymrick that wowed the cosmological community? I think no.

Did Arthur Miller speak in lymricks to woe Maralyn Monroe, did he force lymricks into the common prose of his anti-heroes? Not a chance.

Did Geisel write lymricks? Yes, yes he did.

But, who is this Geisel, this Theodore Geisel?

He is Dr. Seuss, and a Dr. Seuss lymrick is worth a thousand Miller plays, Keatian odes, Einstein theoroms, or DaVinci portraits.

This is my humble opinion.

And here are some non lyricked links. Omega 3 capsules just doesn’t fit into lymrick form and the weight loss shake is a dietary supplement wholly unfit for poetry.
