This is a reproduction of Edward Lear's Nonsense Limericks Book 7 of 8.

There was an old man of Dumbree,
Who taught little owls to drink tea;
For he said, 'To eat mice,
Is not proper or nice'
That amiable man of Dumbree.

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.
