Genre: Nonsense Poetry
320 pages
What it's about:
This is a book filled full of Edward Lear's limericks, poems, songs, and illustrations.
Why?
Edward Lear has always been my favorite poet. Him and Shel Silverstein. I love the sing song flow of his poems and how they are absolute nonsense. Lear was the father of Nonsense. Anyone who called Queen Victoria an "absolutely marvelous duck" was a cool guy. "Owl and the Pussycat" will always be my favorite poem (I've had it memorized since I was 4) and I had to write a paper on it this last week. I've been thrown in an Edward Lear faze. Make sure to read Owl and the Pussycat, along with The Jumblees. Those are the best!

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)
As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
