Parody Of Tennyson’sto Edward Lear On His Travels In Greece by Edward Lear

Delirious Bulldogs; — echoing calls
My daughter, — green as summer grass; —
The long supine Plebeian ass,
The nasty crockery boring falls; —

Tom-Moory Pathos; — all things bare, —
With such a turket! such a hen!
And scrambling forms of distant men,
O! ain't you glad you were not there!
