"Lime-Tree Bower" always makes me think of that episode of The Office when Michael hurt his foot by stepping on the George Foreman Grill. Sammy Coleridge basically has that same level of self-pity in the poem, when he can't play with his friends because he hurt his foot. (I love Coleridge)

ME TOO it's so bonkers, I love the weird jumps in logic it takes. "My pet wolf really hates this couple CLEARLY THEY'VE WRONGED MY PET WOLF" and when the wolf won't put on pants, it's not because it's a wild animal, it's because he's shy. Also all the kids born without noses. Oh, Marie.
