LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF DORKING
Last Line: THAT SHE VERY SOON WENT BACK TO DORKING.

There was a Young Lady of Dorking,
Who bought a large bonnet for walking;
But its colour and size, so bedazzled her eyes,
That she very soon went back to Dorking.
