A Limerick A Day

at

Irish writer Colm Toibin has caused a backlash after telling  a Guardian interviewer: “I can’t do thrillers and I can’t do spy novels.”

A writer who’s widely adored
Has said that he’s always ignored
A book about crime
Which just wastes his time
And makes him feel sleazy and bored

    It’s funny – in the same piece he was basking in the glory of not watching Telly or owning one either- while bemoaning that as a result he couldn’t watch Coco gauff in the tennis (he got her name wrong obviously)

    I was wondering to myself, how can someone so conceited and up himself be able to write anything of relevance? And who would read it?
