A masterful limerick.

Robert Conquest condenses Shakespeare’s Seven Ages of Man:


Seven Ages: first puking and mewling
Then very pissed-off with your schooling
Then fucks, and then fights
Next judging chaps’ rights
Then sitting in slippers: then drooling.

Christopher Hitchens quotes it in his memoir.
