Good try. The truth is interesting ; he was Don Maquis 1878 - 1937. He never used capitals because he produced wondrous verse supposedly by a cat called Mehitable who could not operate the upper-case typewriter key!

I spotted one called 'pete at the seashore' by ' pete the pup'.


Funny old world, ain't it?

OK. Another American.

An alcoholic and laudanum addict, he still managed to join his local Temperance Society to lecture others on the evils of drink.

Who was this?

Dang it! I should've known that. My brother-in-law is a HUGE Poe fan.
