- Description: whoever doubts that fame is fickle need only ask the prudish pickle it hoped to be a phallic symbol handled by fingers strong and nimble but ends up pickled in a jar so close, alas, but no cigar

whoever doubts that fame is fickle  
need only ask the prudish pickle  
it hoped to be a phallic symbol  
handled by fingers strong and nimble  
but ends up pickled in a jar  
so close, alas, but no cigar
