David Copperfield


Am I my life's hero? We'll see
In these limericks if that is to be,
But one clue is vital:
Just look at the title.
That Copperfield fellow? It's me.

Some kids have good lives. I did not.
My dad died and things went to pot.
But the worst part was over
The day I reached Dover
And Betsey, my aunt, named me Trot.

I married a sweet girl who died.
I said I was sorry. I lied.
It was Agnes, my friend,
I betrothed in the end,
And who made me feel happy inside.
