    This druggist was no zero
    convicted member of the choir

    adroit at sketching on canvas and page

    in a banana republic wrote
    of what the walrus said

    A sophisticated and graceful innovation of LitNet, riddles in verses or with verses.
    " The time has come,' the Walrus said,
    To talk of many things:
    Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —
    Of cabbages — and kings —
    And why the sea is boiling hot —
    And whether pigs have wings."

    But he is not Lewis Carroll, is he?
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

    HOT !!!... but, nay, that would have been too easy...
    a riddle within the riddle; a key
    within the verse you found once turned
    will lead you to your literary her-o !

    Well, let´s sum up:
    Said hero is also a painter
    The country a sub-developed one
    Overseas America or Africa (from an European perspective).

    I pass.

    Alas, too soon a pass
    (for at worst)
    perhaps the perp was abroad
    from hearth and home
    when penned the tome
    within your verse

    Well, now I have to be away
    But maybe PB or others,
    Can make the day!

    I´ll be back later.

    Oh well, he was a druggist in his own way, and a spokesman for the walrus. Plus they still sell those dumb cartoons of his for a lot of money. Never mind--let's take it from the top. A male?

    Thanks, tailor. These are fun. Okay...

    You'll find me full of vim and verve,
    But my work strikes a less sanguine nerve.
