As this edition of Lost Limericks goes to press, The Yeats Society remains mired in acrimonious debate regarding the authenticity of "Sailing to Byzantium by Way of Nantucket."

The Second Coming
A beast with the head of a man
Is crouched in the hot French Soudan.
Don't be fooled by the slouch,
It's a fearsome old grouch.
When it wakes up, let's be in Japan.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I love it so much.
See you in Japan?
(I ran dry)
Whose poetry sparked great debates
As to whether expression
Of so much depression
Set students to moaning their fates
And have I used the word "clever" often enough? Duh.
