Louis Wain Fact #67:
At least one person was named after Wain; in 1933 when Louis Wain of Skegness, England was in court charged with an unlicensed motorcycle, the chairman interrupted the proceedings to ask him about cats. To which the defendant claimed the artist was merely his namesake.

Full to the brim of sours;
But I rather think the sun doth shine
Though many golden hours.
Note how the lark doth speed with song
On merry, tripping wing;
Pack up your world of troublous cares -
A merry heart doth sing.
