Limericks

Yesterday we saw how limericks are formed  ( remember AABBA !)
There are many limericks in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense ; Here are two of them.  Enjoy !


There was an Old Man with a beard,  

Who said, 'It is just as I feared!

Two Owls and a Hen,

Four Larks and a Wren,

Have all built their nests in my beard!'  
 
 
 
There was a Young Lady whose chin,

Resembled the point of a pin;

So she had it made sharp,

And purchased a harp,

And played several tunes with her chin  
 
 
 
 
 
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,

Who never had more than a penny;

He spent all that money,

In onions and honey,

That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.
