If you knew the poem it was a walk in the park, since (astonishingly) it is all here. (And if you didn’t know it, you could google as soon as you got a signifcant phrase.) Sometimes with a set up like this the ease of entry takes away the enjoyment of solving, but not here because of the superb clueing. Hail to the Chief!

Hope the chicken chasseur was as good as the crossword. I enjoyed what I solved of this one but still remain convinced that of Mr Henderson’s two Lear birthday tributes, the DT Toughie for me is the more outstanding and fun, and I was the lucky soul who got to blog it too. A great day for nonsense poetry and cryptic solvers too.
