He's a famous poet of the 20th century.

a Pink Lady is shady
but a MacIntosh is slicker

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

no, not Eliot

W.C. Fields used the particular poem this is modeled after in a film.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

It's modeled after Ogden Nash's

Candy is dandy
but liquor is quicker.
