Just before falling asleep in the small hours of yesterday
morning, this sentence floated into my mind, clear as a phone call: The man who typed Lear
Later in the day I wrote it down and then this emerged:
THE MAN WHO TYPED LEAR
The man who typed Lear
didn't mean Shakespeare.
He was thinking of the private Jet
which he doesn't own yet.
His novel is not ready
his hand it is not steady.
Lear will be the hero's name
and in his search for fame
Lear will lose the plot.
So far, that's all he's got,
the man who typed Lear.
You heard it here.

The man who typed Lear
Couldn't spell well I fear
He really meant leer
It would have been better to say sneer.
Oh dear.
Lucy, I like the idea that it was a mis-spelling!
This could catch on. See next post.
