LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD PERSON OF DOVER
Last Line: SO HE VERY SOON WENT BACK TO DOVER.

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.
