Thackeray, A little bit of Scott, A modicum of Dickens just To tangle up the plot, A paraphrase of Marryat, A nother from Dumas You ask me for a novel, sir, And I say, there you are. The pen is greater than the sword, Of that there is no doubt. The pen for me wheneer I wish An enemy to rout. A pen, a pad, and say a pint Ofink with which to scrawl, To put a foe to flight is all That sneeded truly all.
