A Limerick for You

English Writer and Dramatist W. Somerset Maugham

Having just finished read Somerset Maugham’s On a Chinese Screen (1922), I was delighted to find this limerick mentioning him composed by Ogden Nash:

There was a young lady of Guam
Who peddled her charms, charm by charm,
Inspired, I suppose,
By the classical prose
Of W. Somerset Maugham.
