LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD MAN OF TH' ABRUZZI
Last Line: THAT DOUBTFUL OLD MAN OF TH' ABRUZZI.
There was an Old Man of th' Abruzzi,
So blind that he couldn't his foot see;
When they said, 'That's your toe,' he replied, 'Is it so?'
That doubtful Old Man of th' Abruzzi.
