I'll never see a tree at all" in a Joyce Kilmer parody called "Song of the Open Road".
This author wrote a long poem that includes the characters Ink, Blink, and Mustard, who live in a little white house with Belinda; in that poem, Belinda is abducted by Sir Garagoyle, who is eventually killed by Belinda's cowardly pet. This author of "Custard the Dragon and the Wicked Knight" and "Line-Up for Yesterday: An ABC of Baseball Immortals" discoursed on the benefits of [►] talcum in "Reflection on Babies" and wrote "Perhaps unless the billboards fall / I'll never see a tree at all" in a Joyce Kilmer parody called "Song of the Open Road". In another poem, he described "a priest" and "a beast" before wagering "a silk pajama" against the existence of a figure whose name begins with three Ls, while in 1968 he updated his best-known work by adding the couplet "Pot / is not." For 10 points, identify this American author of "The Lama" whose "Reflections on Ice-Breaking" reads "Candy / is dandy/ But liquor / Is quicker".
