G. E. M. ANSCOMBE (1919-2001)

[This must be read in an American accent.]

It was Anscombe who liked reading psalms,
And returning her income as alms.
And when Harry Truman
Did something inhuman,
She inveighed against nuclear bombs.

    The last line only scans if you mispronounce 'nuclear' in the style of George Bush.
