Bartholomew Sholto

Avaricious Bartholomew Sholto
tried to preserve his hoarded status quo,
except for the occasional pearl,
which he gave to the girl.

I really like "Sholto/status quo" - that's inspired ^_^

Excellent summary of the character. And even those few words conveys his reluctance to part with anything.

Oh, another awesome rhyme for Sholto. I really like the expression "hoarded status quo" – it captures nicely what the treasure meant to Sholto Senior and Junior.

"Avaricious Bartholomew Sholto"... that's a mouthful, and yet it's got a great rhythm when said out loud!

Wonderful rhyming as well. :)
