You Are Cordially Invited to the Life and Death of Edward Lear

By The Winding Sheet Outfit

Created by The Winding Sheet Outfit

There once was a man who drew parrots/ And wrote many poems of merit/ We'll look in his mirror/ And find life is dearer/ Existence so sweet none can bear it.

Full title: 

You Are Cordially Invited to the Life and Death of Edward Lear: Poet, Illustrator, Composer, and Melancholy Hypochondriac OR What is a Runcible Spoon: An Absurdist Eulogy and Existential Crisis on the Stage.

That pretty much sums it up. And doesn't really cover it at all. 

This is our friend, Edward.

 A.K.A:

Mr Abebika kratoponoko Prizzikalo Kattefello Ablegorabalus Ableborinto phashyph or Chakonoton the Cozovex Dossi Fossi Sini Tomentilla Coronilla Polentilla Battledore & Shuttlecock Derry down Derry Dumps.

Spoiler: He is dead.
