There was an old man with a beard—Edward Lear

There was an old man with a beard,
Who said “It is just as I feared! -
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!”

The wonderful nonsense poems of Edward Lear are a delight.
Great portrait. Not sure if it's a self-portrait or a portrait of someone else. I like the humorous look of the mouth.

@randystreat Not a self-portrait but without the beard he is very like me, he is my youngest son.
