With bonus poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins and Ogden Nash.

I have no proof that Wordsworth's nickname actually was Bumface, but with that chin I could well believe it. It's a silly little pome, too.

Hopkins' contribution is surprisingly uncharitable coming from a fellow God-Botherer like him.

Ogden Nash is in good form, but he should be more troubled by the thought that the guy who'll eventually seduce his infant daughter might not be a baby but already pubescent.
