This is a reproduction of Edward Lear's Nonsense Limericks Book 2 of 8.

There was an Old Man who supposed
That the street door was partially closed;
But some very large rats
Ate his coats and his hats,
While that futile Old Gentleman dozed.

The limerick was popularized by Edward Lear, a nineteenth century poet and artist.

Mostly considered nonsense literature, these Edward Lear’s Limericks include absurd hand drawn illustrations that Lear drew himself.
