Meh. I suppose it works on a certain level as doggerel...but some of the verbs seems arbitrary. I don't know what you mean by clanker about Shakespeare unless you mean that his meter was rough...which it might have been, but I don't think you can say it clanked. I don't see how Donne is meant to be a canker unless you mean he's a canker on the literary tradition of England. I don't see how Tennyson is a thanker...really, I can't think of anything. And Swinburne liked being spanked, not spanking, so I don't think you can call him a spanker.
