EDWARD LEAR
English poet of humorous verse and landscape painter

  Who has written such volumes of stuff!
    Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
      But a few think him pleasant enough.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
  In a beautiful pea-green boat.

      - The Pobble Who Has No Toes [Fishing]

The Pobble who has no toes
  Had once as many as we;
    When they said, "Some day you may lose them all";--
      He replied,--"Fish fiddle de-dee!"
