Who wrote about mean, evil flora.

That landed nearby
And ate him so he could write no more-ah.

There once was a writer of satire,
Who feared his profession would soon expire.

Who had a sordid and checkered history. /

She let her husband drown /
Because his reviews of her writing were blistery.
There once a writer from Cancun
Who wrote about things way too soon.
It was all in future tense
And made very little sense.

Whose writing was full of complexity

And his sin was where to begin,
So he wound up thinking about it bars a lot.
