Lorick #140:


an icarian tale: picaresque!

whose satire is dark, kafkaesque

there's a familiar who's jumpy,

and a father who's grumpy,

and an ass of a child... it's grotesque!



But first, we solve #141 - here it is one last time:


a misogynist, who brooks no objection,

is impressed by his crafted perfection

this linguist - or sculptor

who shapes or corrects her

ends his story with love - or rejection
