LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD MAN WITH A POKER
Last Line: BUT KNOCKED THEM ALL DOWN WITH HIS POKER.

There was an Old Man with a poker,
Who painted his face with red oker
When they said, 'You're a Guy!' he made no reply,
But knocked them all down with his poker.
