This is a reproduction of Edward Lear's Nonsense Limericks Book 4 of 8.

There was an Old Man of the coast,
Who placidly sat on a post;
But when it was cold
He relinquished his hold,
And called for some hot buttered toast.

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.
