Hi this is Pamela Rogers and Sarah Torbey from Buttons & Figs. On Buttons & Figs we love literary nonsense. For our show, we normally go out and read great literary nonsense to kids at libraries and schools and it is that nonsense that inspires the kids you hear on our show. But since libraries and schools are closed right now, we thought it might be fun to read some nonsense here. Because the thing we know about literary nonsense, is that it tickles the mind, which sounds like a pretty good thing at this time.

We'll start with Edward Lear and go from thear....
