The Amazing Edward Lear, The Guy Whose Limericks Strike Fear
This limerick came from Eduard Lear, one of the most famous limerick-ists (is that even a word?:P) who ever existed. I think he existed around the 1800s, but I’m not completely sure of that.o_O
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, ‘It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!’
