A Poem to Practice On
Edward Lear and Kylee-Anne Hingston
This quick little poem from Edward Lear’s A Book of Nonsense (1846) is here to give you a chance to practice prosody and to practice annotating.
“There was an Old Man with a Beard”
by Edward Lear
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, “It is just as I feared! —
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.”
