The Book of Nonsense, 11 (Edward Lear)

I am beyond tired at the moment, so tonight's poem will be the super short and funny limerick #11 (possibly 12) by Edward Lear.

The title of the post on poets.org says that it will be #11, but in the poem itself it says #12, so who knows which it is (or perhaps that is just more of the nonsense!).

There are 3 limericks on the page, but #11 is the only one that made me crack a smile. I love picturing this lady with a chin so big she can play it! Funny to me, at least. Like I said, I'm tired.


Favorite line: "And played several tunes with her chin."
