What's-His-Nuts

So I've incorporated "Whatshisnuts" as a Last Name into my daily conversation. It still gets pretty big laughs... Thanks O.F..
So today our conversation somehow meandered into Poetry today and we were discussing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Emily Dickenson. Then we decided that I should call my sister Bee and she could discuss the famous Russian poet Dimitri Whatshisnutski. Big Big Laughs. Thanks Pat!

O.F. Responded:
Ah, yes. Ol' Dimitri. I think this was one of his:

There once was a man named What's-His-Nutski
Who sailed a ship on the Barents Sea
One day trolling kippers
He said "I'm freezing my Nippers"
and moved to a place much more balmy.

I had to chime in:

I went on a DUCK boat tour of Boston, including the Charles river.
Whouldn't you know it we went under the Henry Whatshisnuts Longfellow
bridge. I didn't see anything dangling.

Aparently the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere originally started:
Listen my children, don't fidget or futz
Paul Revere, now famos, used to be ol' Whatshisnuts
