LIMERICK

by: Edward Lear (1812-1888)

      HERE once was a 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."

"Limerick" is reprinted from A Nonsense Anthology. Ed. Carolyn Wells. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915.
