Only Edward Lear knows…
…why the pobble has got no toes
and why the Dong has a luminous nose.
And only Mr. Lear knows what
or who, or why, is the Akond of Swat.
And you must ask Mr. Lear, for only he
knows why the Jumblies went to sea.
And only he is sure to know
what attracted the Owl and the Pussy Cat so.
And only he can ever let slip
The truth about the Scroobious Pip.
But such expectations are foolish, one fears,
For dear Mr. Lear has been dead for years.
