Edward Lear (1812 - 1888). Lear preferred the term NONSENSE to 'limerick' . "There was an Old Man, who when litlle fell casually into a Kettle; But, growing to stout, he could never get out, So he passed all his life in that Kettle". "There was an Old Person in Black, a Grasshopper jumped on his back; When it chirped in his ear, he was smitten with fear, That helpless Old Person In Black". Lear as a teenager found artistic work drawing zoological specimens for illustrated books. One of his patrons was the earl of Derby, for whose children he devised the Book of Nonsense, published in 1846, the year after he had given drawing lessons to Queen Victoria.
