The Fifth Line: Limericks After Lear

There was an old man who was cheered, When the birds made a home in his beard; But the ostrich was banned, On account of the sand, So it stood at the window and sneered. This volume contains 112 brand-new limericks based on Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense plus Lear’s originals (224 limericks in all), and 10 new illustrations.
