The life story of a famous fictional character reduced to three limericks
A haughty young madam, Miss Havisham,
Spinster of somewhere near Faversham,
Planned to get hitched
But was cruelly ditched
By a cad who wooed women to ravish ‘em.
Bent on destroying men’s power,
She brought up a girl to be sour.
Her name was Estella
And Pip was the fella
Estella was groomed to devour.
Years later Miss Havisham’s mission
Had seemingly come to fruition
When flames from the fire
Consumed her attire
And led to her decomposition.
