Artist&limerickteer Edward Lear
brought a smile&good cheer
Mostly he wrote nonsense verse
to keep the pennies dropimg into his purse
Engiish-born Edward Lear
loved nursery rhyme we do hear
They inspired him to invent the limerick
which still makes online poetry sites tick
Victorian-era Edward Lear,
musician, artist and limerickeer;
He drew and illustrated parrots of London’s Zoo.
Pictures for his famed“Book of Nonsense” Lear created too.
An actor auditioning for Lear
Spoke his lines in a manner *****,
As he’d loudly explain
Where the rain falls in Spain,
For he’d read the wrong play it’d appear.
I sometimes wonder who was there
the day Shakespeare finished writing King Lear.
Was he at home with his Annie?
Or was he drunk off his fanny
in the Tabard Inn, stroking the dark lady's hair?
Edward Lear
Was on the gear
It’s plain for all to see
A pussy and owl
That incredible fowl
How could he write such poetry?
What drugs he had
Or was he mad?
That’s a madness I’d like to be
So, I say my dears
We need more Edward Lears
To save us from this insanity.
King Lear’s Voice
Nothing out of nothing
William Shakespeare
A king of true tragedy
No unconditional love.
No never and nothing
Machiavellian
His descent into madness
Dead to Heaven above.

NOT AS LEAR KNEW IT
There was a young man from near here
Tried to emulate Edward Lear.
The syllable count
Was the right amount
But alas when the end was near
He had too many lines I fear

you only
pass this
way
once
take
your time
make it rhyme
King Lear
not too fast
make it last
don’t fast
slowly
consume it
don’t swallow
wallow
in it
lightly
sight fully
brightly
fright fully
right fully
from right to left
or left to fight
from the past to here
cheer
not
fear
King Lear
