LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF RUSSIA
Last Line: AS WAS SCREAMED BY THAT LADY FROM RUSSIA.

There was a Young Lady of Russia,
Who screamed so that no one could hush her;
Her screams were extreme,- no one heard such a scream
As was screamed by that Lady from Russia.
