The reverend dead
don't care what they wear,
they don't put on makeup,
they don't style their hair,
they don't pay their taxes,
they don't fall for pranks,
they don't pursue passions,
they don't offer thanks,
they don't crave nostalgia,
they're free of that drug--
Yes, the reverend dead
are terribly smug.

Thursday Clerihew: Undying Literature

Higgledy-piggledy
Stephanie Meyer,

Worried she stopped writing
Twilight too soon,

Sat down and wrote out
A trilogy prequel
Called, somewhat comically,
Late Afternoon.
