. . . as well as being the co-founder of both the New York Evening Mirror not to mention Town and Country magazine, Bullwinkle follows up his recitation of Poe's most famous poem, THE RAVEN, with George Pope Morris' best-remembered work, WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE. Naturally enough, it was Morris who first published THE RAVEN, making Poe a household name across our U. S. Homeland. Unfortunately, WOODMAN has not enjoyed the same longevity as THE RAVEN. Dr. Seuss pretty much stole any echoes of remaining thunder from WOODMAN with his 20th Century story, the L-o-r-a-x. As Shakespeare often remarked, poets live a hard knocks life.
