The Greatest Author

This is a poem I wrote some time ago, which I just found and deemed worthy of posting. 

The Greatest Author
By Melody Beerbower, May 4, 2012

There is one author 
I’d dearly love to meet.
The greatest author ever
To write upon a sheet.

He is more clever than P. G. Woodhouse
More timeless than William Shakespeare
More moral than Aesop and his fables 
More historic than Paul Revere.

More mysterious than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
More morose than Edgar Allen Poe
More classic than Mark Twain
More numskull than Larry, Curly, and Moe.

More poetic than Robert Frost
More faulty than Charles Darwin 
More read than Louisa May Alcott
More accurate than Isaac Newton

More original than Homer
More wise than Benjamin Franklin
More quotable than C. S. Lewis 
More renown than Charles Dickens

Yet, we know almost nothing about him,
This writer from the abyss.
We don’t even know his name,
For he is Anonymous.
