  • Observe this man: George Bernard Shaw.

    His beard is long! It scrapes the floor!

    It makes him look quite shrewd and grave -

    (A Shavian, he never shaved.)

    Though Fabian, he told no fables,

    But told the truth whenever able.

    A noted modern dramatist,

    And famous epigrammatist,

    He'd love to epi- me or you.

    I'd like to epigram him too:

    I can't. Alas! He is quite dead!

    This is an epitaph instead.
