About the story.

Edward Lear fills short verses with people whose habits refuse to fit ordinary expectations. A town, an animal, an unusual appetite, or an impossible decision can become the starting point for a small and gloriously unreasonable world.

The rhythms invite listeners to anticipate what comes next, even when the details make anticipation a risky business. This is poetry for enjoying the sound of language and the freedom to be very silly.
