               There was an Old Man with a beard,                Who said, "It is just as I feared!—                Two Owls and a Hen,                Four Larks and a Wren,                Have all built their nests in my beard!"

               There was a Young Lady of Ryde,                Whose shoe-strings were seldom untied;                She purchased some clogs,                And some small spotty dogs,                And frequently walked about Ryde.

Autorenporträt
EDWARD LEAR (1812-1888), was a British writer and artist, who created landscape paintings, nonsense verse, and the illustration of birds and reptiles. He was Queen Victoria's private drawing master and given a place in the Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. As a naturalist painter, his work is often compared to the bird paintings of Gould and Audubon, who both worked with Lear. As a writer, Lear's humorous alphabets and wordplay influenced such twentieth-century writers as Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash, and Laura Richards.
