The James Joyce of Toy Town

Apparantly according to the site “I Write Like” my style is James Joyce. However I analysed a few limericks which have come up as having the style of Stephen King for some and Daniel Defoe for ones about cricket. I look forward to reading some of Stephen Kings limericks and Daniel Defoes limericks… I think they may go something like this

The child was not quite alright in his head,
And he would have strange dark dreams when in bed,
As his wardrobe would rattle,
You could hear running cattle,
As they were chased by some dogs who once were dead.
~
The man woke up and exclaimed “Oh heck”,
As he was on an island after the ship wreck,
If only he had a man Friday,
Before he sailed who could say,
“Have you got your razor? Should you not check?”

Unfortunately my stephen King limerick apparantly accoriding to the site, the style of Charles Dickens, whereas the Daniel Defoe one apparantly is Stephen King like. I thought Dickens be more of this sort…

The poor downtrodden starving little orphans,
Had no friends family or fans,
Society was to blame,
It really was a shame,
That they had no mother, father uncles, or grans.
~

Apparantly this is more James Fenimoore Cooper than Dickens though, so if that was your first thought when reading it well done.
