LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD PERSON WHOSE HABITS
Last Line: UPON WHICH HE RELINQUISHED THOSE HABITS.
There was an Old Person whose habits,
Induced him to feed upon rabbits;
When he'd eaten eighteen, he turned perfectly green,
Upon which he relinquished those habits.
