Edward Lear
who can I blame?
if I have your ear,
I’d like to claim—
right now and here,
and for shame!—
that it would appear,
I fear,
that I’m kin to
poet Edward Lear.
I know it’s queer,
but my skin is thin
and cloaked in scant veneer.
I’d really rather
be a kinsman to
William Shakespeare.
and now I sorrow.
please don’t interfere.
