Edward Lear - born in London on May 12, 1812 - was a highly-regarded nature and landscape artist, but he is much better remembered for the whimsical nonsense poetry and limericks he produced throughout his life.

It is difficult to comprehend how this could be even remotely amusing to anyone. Very interesting, just not funny.
They are nonsense rhymes pictures and quite clever - ratheramusing.com is not looking at them in the right context of the early 19th century. I've always loved Edward Lear.
Holy cow! There's a line in the song "Love Cats" by The Cure about the "scroobius snake" that I've never been able to decipher. This is what Robert Smith was singing about - Eureka!
