I think Whatshisname is Joyce Kilmer.

Maybe you'll like this...

I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

Ogden Nash
US humorist & poet (1902 - 1971)

Ogden Nash, a favorite!

There was a ditty I encountered in some magazine (Life, Look, Post?) around '61 to '64 I wish I could remember, called "Ode to a Code", in part:

You may liefer(?) be a lifer
Than a sentimental cypher
But the pressures ever rifer
intervene
To change your rage to umbrage
And your identity to numb(e)rage
as you... (forgotten)
(?) machine.
