Sören Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
 
     The Kierkegaard Diet:
     (Suggest that you try it.)
     First make a nice sandwich,
     say chicken on rye;
     And heap on the mayo
     (the calories—oh, my!).
     Then go to a grave yard,
     on a stone sit upright;
     Muttering "Oh what's the use"
     'till you lose appetite.
            —JSH (My versification of
            a joke of unknown origin)

        A less flattering sketch.
