LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY WHOSE BONNET
Last Line: ARE WELCOME TO SIT ON MY BONNET!'

There was a Young Lady whose bonnet,
Came untied when the birds sate upon it;
But she said: 'I don't care! all the birds in the air
Are welcome to sit on my bonnet!'
