LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD LADY OF CHERTSEY
Last Line: WHICH DISTRESSED ALL THE PEOPLE OF CHERTSEY.

There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round, till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.
