LIMERICKS There was an Old Man with a flute, A serpent ran into his boot; But he played day and night, Till the serpent took flight, And avoided that man with a flute. Written by: Edward Lear There was an old man with a beard Who said, "it’s just how I feared! Two owls and a hen Four larks and a wren Have all built their nests in my beard. - Anonymous There once was a lady from France. Who went to an old fashioned dance. She dances really quick. And did a neat trick. But she left with a hole in her pants.
