A delicious piece of Lear nonsense giving ample opportunities for hilarious illustration as the old man from the Kingdom of Tess first dons clothes made of mice, pork chops, pancakes and the like before only to be pursued and divested of same by all sorts of Beasticles, Birdlings and Boys. Share this with your class and I can guarantee they will demand it over and over again.
