Sinopsis

There was an Old Man who was cheered?When the birds made a home in his beard,?But the ostrich was banned?On account of the sand,?So it stood at the window and sneered.One hundred and twelve brand new limericks based on Edward Lear?s ground-breaking work, A Book of Nonsense.?Plus Edward Lear?s original verses.?That?s two hundred and twenty four limericks!?But why the new new take on old poems??Because Edward Lear skipped the most important part of a limerick - the fifth line, which adds a twist to the story and makes us chuckle.?The Fifth Line draws on every verse in A Book of Nonsense, creating from each a brand new limerick with the twist and chuckle it deserves.?They?re all here, from An Old Man With a Nose to A Young Lady Whose Bonnet, and everything in between.?The Fifth Line: Limericks After Lear.?Plus Lear.
