Response to I do not like it's silly face

Thanks to Jean's response, I have been able to track this poem down.

It was indeed Walter Raleigh;

THE WISHES OF AN ELDERLY MAN

(At a garden-party, June 1914)

I wish I loved the Human Race; I wish I loved its silly face; I wish I liked the way it walks; I wish I liked the way it talks; And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!

WALTER RALEIGH

Many Thanks.
