About this audiobook
There was a verse writer named Lear
Who said “in the future I fear
That the verses I write be recorded (they might)
for all who desire so to HEAR”
(R.M. with apologies to E. L.)
Edward Lear is justly renowned as a writer of humorous verse. His “Nonsense Songs”were published in 1871 and includes probably his best known and most loved poem “The Owl and the Pussycat”. “Laughable Lyrics “ (1877) contains other popular rhymes including “The Dong with a Luminous Nose”, “The Courtship of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo”, “The Pobble Who Has No Toes” and more.
