Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Young Sam was unable to fib.
His wit was audacious, not glib.
He’d slowly deliver
a dart from his quiver
and hit you below your spare-rib.
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret
Jeune Charles liked his surfaces hard,
and a unified heavy facade.
He stacked people inside
lives that he circumscribed
with arrogant, cold disregard.
Diana Fluck
An English sex goddess whose name
was changed to make sure that her fame
was focused on parts
more related to arts
and less focused on frolic and shame.
