Writers usually take themselves soooooo seriously! That's why it's refreshing to remember a talented man with a whimsical and irreverent style. Lear started by writing a series of poems for children; over one hundred fifty-six in all. His most recognized offerings being "The Owl and the Pussycat" and "The Road Not Taken." A collection of his limericks are in his books, "A Book of Nonsense" and "Nonsense Songs." If you'd like to learn more about this gifted man's artistry, writings, and life visit poets.org and/or nonsenselit.org.
If this is a writing style you'd like to try, by all means, do! I found it challenging and fun. Keep in mind, most of the same writing rules apply as I tried to illustrate in the second limerick, below. My apologies to you, and the pros for the prose:
There once was an indie author
Who argued editing a bother,
His story gained fame
Everyone knew of his name
Because a typo named his hero an otter.
