Eldon was a master creator of limericks. In one of his publications he gave the following explanation:
Though some of my thoughts are perverse,
I like to express them in verse.
I use an old gimmick
That is called a limerick –
Recorded here for better, for worse.
In terms of justice / injustice, Eldon once wrote:
When we see round us deeds that appall,
And Heaven seems deaf to our call,
We need not inquire
What the Lord doth require-
It’s justice and kindness for all.
