There was an Old Man who was cheered When the birds made a home in his beard; But the ostrich was banned On account of the sand, So it stood at the window and sneered.
One hundred and twelve brand new limericks based on Edward Lear's ground-breaking work, A Book of Nonsense.
Plus Edward Lear's original verses.
That's two hundred and twenty four limericks!
But why the new new take on old poems?
Because Edward Lear skipped the most important part of a limerick - the fifth line, which adds a twist to the story and makes us chuckle.
The Fifth Line draws on every verse in A Book of Nonsense, creating from each a brand new limerick with the twist and chuckle it deserves.
They're all here, from An Old Man With a Nose to A Young Lady Whose Bonnet, and everything in between.
The Fifth Line: Limericks After Lear.
Plus Lear.
