Crowley himself loved the limerick form to make scathing comments on people; usually those who sought to make a 'cult of Crowley'.
It is often said by critics of Crowley that he sought power and a personality cult of himself, there is little proof of that. He had the charisma, knowledge and at one time the money to create such if he so wished; but the evidence is that he turned, cruelly often, on those that sought to create a personality cult of 'Crowleyanity'.
The survival of such a cult is perhaps evidence of his greatest failure. Try as he might to offend sensibilities, to define himself as the Beast 666 and create a new pagan revival based upon witchcraft with all its negative associations; still people have turned him into a cult of personality, forgetting his emphasis that 'doing all I can, 666 is the number of a 'Man'."
