LIMERICK by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF STATION
Last Line: "ISLE OF MAN, IS THE TRUE EXPLANATION."

There was a young lady of station,
"I love man!" was her sole exclamation;
But when men cried, "You flatter!"
She replied, "Oh, no matter!
Isle of Man, is the true explanation."
