Limericks by Edward Lear

There was an Old Man of Moldavia,
Who had the most curious behaviour
    For while he was able,
    He slept on a table,
That funny Old Man of Moldavia.
 
There was an Old Person of Dover,
Who rushed through a field of blue Clover:
    But some very large bees
    Stung his nose and his knees,
So he very soon went back to Dover.

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 a Young Lady of Norway,
Who casually sat in a doorway;
     When the door squeezed her flat,
     She exclaimed, ‘What of that?’
This courageous Young Lady of Norway.

Edward Lear
