Lovely Duck
Words by Edward Lear
Edward Lear's Mr. and Mrs. Spikky Sparrow stand beside their nest of chicks, he in a top hat and she in a bonnet, under the words "Good Luck." Inside is his rhyme from Nonsense Songs, 1871: "All your life I wish you luck! You are, you are, a lovely duck!" Lear's Book of Nonsense made the limerick famous, and his wobbly drawings still make every age laugh. For someone starting something new.
