Nonsense



L. has a great sense of humor. She leans towards the ridiculous and the absurd: think, Zach Galifianakis. Pictured is a nonsense poem by Edward Lear (1812-1888), the British poet who is known for his humorous limericks including The Owl and the Pussycat.

It looks silly and simple, but I think this sort of irreverence is both subversive and brainy. As for the little pie, I would add, “Open widey”.
