Twain - A literary nightmare

Humorous Stories and Sketches
Mark Twain
1996

A Literary Nightmare (1876)

Once again I find myself amazed at Twain's ability to grasp a reader with a story about a rather mundane topic. He builds and builds in this story a farce entirely based on the premise of a jingle being stuck in his head! Pretty funny, but so far Journalism in Tennessee remains my favorite.
