This is a reproduction of Edward Lear's Nonsense Limericks Book 5 of 8.

There was a young person of Bantry,
Who frequently slept in the pantry;
When disturbed by the mice,
She appeased them with rice,
That judicious young person of Bantry.

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.
