	But AH! (The Landscape Painter Said)

But ah! (the Landscape painter said,)
A brutal fly walks on my head
And my bald skin doth tickle;
And so I stop distracted quite,
(With itching skin for who can write?)
In most disgusting pickle--

[from The Complete Nonsense Book,
edited by Lady Strachey, 1912, p. 426.
