There was an Old Man with a flute,
A serpent ran into his boot;
But he played day and night,
Till the serpent took flight,
And avoided that man with a flute.
Written by: Edward Lear
There once was a lady from France.
Who went to an old fashioned
dance.
She dances really quick.
And did a neat trick.
But she left with a hole in her pants.
LIMERICKS
There was an old man with a beard
Who said, "it’s just how I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren
Have all built their nests in my beard.
