Louis Wain Fact #40:
Among Wain’s many passing interests was apparently gemstone collecting. A 1902 an article in Conshocton Daily Age appeared. Sadly, the interest was short lived, as a ”bad bargain” in gems made him realise that he needed to put his artwork first.

We are pouter pigeons - can't you hear us coo?
Fleet of wing are we. Tu whit, tu whit, tu whoo!
We can carry messages through the cloudy skies,
But we fear you like us best when made into pies.
