Limerick:There was an Old Person of Berlin

by Edward Lear

Edward Lear

There was an Old Person of Berlin,
Whose form was uncommonly thin;
Till he once, by mistake,
Was mixed up in a cake,
So they baked that Old Man of Berlin.

    I Walked With Byron
    by John Lars Zwerenz
    I WALKED WITH BYRON I walked with Byron in the regal sun, To the chime of his lordly laughter. We spoke of our time on earth as the sea Kissed our ruddy faces with delicious brine.
