A production of Lear ? (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonsense verse

But I can't explain it at all!

(Other definitions for nonsense verse that I've seen before include "Work by Edward Lear?" , "Absurd poetry" , "Trifling ditty by fool" , "something from Lear" , "Edward Lear speciality" .)
