LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD MAN OF CALCUTTA
Last Line: CHOKED THAT HORRID OLD MAN OF CALCUTTA.

There was an Old Man of Calcutta,
Who perpetually ate bread and butter,
Till a great bit of muffin, on which he was stuffing,
Choked that horrid Old Man of Calcutta.
