Christopher Isherwood

People One Ought to Know

London: Macmillan, 1982.

First printing. 


When Christopher Isherwood was 21, he wrote these nonsense verses for the son of a friend.

Here's one:


The common Cormorant (or shag)

Lays eggs inside a paper bag. 

You follow the idea no doubt? 

It's to keep the lightning out. 

But what these unobservant birds 

Have never thought of, is that herds 

Of wandering bears might come with buns

And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
