This is a reproduction of Edward Lear's Nonsense Limericks Book 6 of 8.

There was an old person of Fife,
Who was greatly disgusted with life;
They sang him a ballad,
And fed him on salad,
Which cured that old person of Fife.

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.
