What's in a Name?

I found this among my father's papers. His name was Ed (Edmond) too. Here's a photo of Ed Dibble. I doubt it is the same one in the limerick. My dad was a fan of Edward Lear.

On safari a man    
      named Ed Dibble
Had the bad judgment  
      to quibble
With a cannibal chief
His survival was brief
Poor Ed ended up    
      as a nibble.
