The trouble with geraniums

The trouble with my toast is that
it’s far too full of bread.
The trouble with a diamond

The same applies to fish and stars
and the electric light.
The troubles with the stars I see
lies in the way they fly.
The trouble with myself is all
self-centred in the eye.
The trouble with my looking-glass
is that it shows me, me;
there’s trouble in all sorts of things
where it should never be.

Sounds like Complete Nonsense to me.
But is the Dwarf of Battersea SF? What would JRRT say?
I read the Complete Book of Nonsense decades ago and have not looked at
or remembered anything until your posts. I have no idea whether there
are serious references in it or not and I know nothing of Battersea.
