T.S. Eliot's Magical Adventures


His name spelled backwards (omitting the S.) is "toilet". One day while he was strolling in the forest he happened upon a magical Nikolas. The Nikolas said to him, "Sir, I will grant you a most magnificent hat, moustache, and goatee set for the low low price today of 5 half-crowns, would you like to buy this fine offer" Then Eliot searched his pockets for he had always desired such a grand get-up, and he searched and he searched, but alas, it was in vain, for all he had was a sixth-farthing, from a faraway clolny, and worth less than nothing! The Nikolas said to him that he knew he was sad, and today was his lucky day, for Nikolas would give him the set for free, but on one condiditon. He would have to become a magical genie too! Eliot accepted. Now he was happy. But later being a genie and floating everywhere depressed him to a great extent. Furthermore, he was conscripted into the army! Seeing the "horrors of war" further made him very sad. So he wrote poetry, lots and lots of poetry. The sum of which amounts to less than this which follows:

David has some problems with this fine fellow. The illustration is actually on one of his poems. Can you tell which? (No.)
