Fun. Thanks.
Edward Lear did love sending folk off to sea. From the Owl & the Pussy-Cat.
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
"It's the birthday of poet Edward Hirsch, born in Chicago, Illinois (1950)."
Couldn't you write a bit more about Edward Hirsch-- even one more line?
