There Once Was an Author Named Kafka

There once was an author named Kafka

Whose books are all lacking in laughter.

There can be no denial,

For I have it on file:

His books are all lacking in laughter.

Lorna and the Sauna

I am dating a young lady named Lorna

Who works in some kind of sauna.

When I say, “what goes on there?”

She refers me to her colleague Claire –

Who refers me back to Miss Lorna …

Kafkaesque

A young man sitting at his desk

Said, “your poems are so very Kafkaesque!”

When I said, “how so?”

He said, “I don’t know!

But The Trial will come nonetheless!”

When Kafka Went and Wrote the Trial

When Kafka went and wrote The Trial

They said, “there can be no denial

That this book is strange

And the characters quite deranged!

And this novel is called The Trial!”.
