LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD PERSON OF ANERLEY
Last Line: BUT RETURNED IN THE EVENING TO ANERLEY.

There was an Old Person of Anerley,
Whose conduct was strange and unmannerly;
He rushed down the Strand with a pig in each hand,
But returned in the evening to Anerley.
