In his nonsense verse “How pleasant to know Mr. Lear” the
popularizer of the limerick makes amusing observations
about himself. In the nonsense octave below readers are
urged to discover an equally intriguing character who, it’s
hoped, will prove just as amusing and, in the end, just
as “not unpleasant to
know.”
Not unpleasant to know...? Monsieur Perec
whose locale is the alphanumeric.
His Oulipian lists skirt the xeric
while his novels ensnare the chimeric.
Though his visage some view as barbaric
(few confuse him for cultural cleric),
to reforge pleasant Georges, surnamed Peric,
would "iron"ical prove (fully-ferric).

be spelt with e-augmented 'a.'
