WIT SAYS: “"Who said, 'Peacock Pie'?
The old King to the sparrow:
Who said, 'Crops are ripe'?
Rust to the harrow:
Who said, 'Where sleeps she now?
Where rests she now her head,
Bathed in eve's loveliness?'?---
That's what I said."
Excerpt from Peacock Pie by Walter De La Mare -1932

An ode to perhaps the strangest collection of nursery rhymes ever written.”
