An Arthurian Brit in the Land of the Free

In a scene from his one-man-play, An Evening With C. S. Lewis, actor David Payne performs a curious limerick while impersonating the famous Christian apologist. An English author, the pseudo-Lewis opines, can produce beautiful works of literature, bathing in ink and wine. Unfortunately, none of these works are well received by critics or academics. Close to despondency, he mails his works across the sea, and the poem ends, “but in this new land his poems seemed grand; thank God for the U.S.A.”
