Here you will find the Short Poem Limerick: There was an Old Man of the Nile, of poet Edward Lear

Limerick: There was an Old Man of the Nile,

There was an Old Man of the Nile,
Who sharpened his nails with a file,
Till he cut out his thumbs,
And said calmly, 'This comes
Of sharpening one's nails with a file!'
