LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD MAN AT A CASEMENT
Last Line: THAT INCIPIENT OLD MAN AT A CASEMENT.

There was an Old Man at a casement,
Who held up his hands in amazement;
When they said, 'Sir, you'll fall!' he replied, 'Not at all!'
That incipient Old Man at a casement.
