I've just found my poem book from my first year (1955-56) at Malin Bridge Junior. Inside the back cover I wrote my favourite Edward Lear limerick:

 

...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!"

 

Now I am the old man with a beard....

Chunkyfunky after you've posted you can press click the edit button that should be in the right bottom corner, and then correct your mistake. Thanks for the rhyme, Are you a new grandma now?

"A funny old bird

Is the pelican,

His beak can hold more than

His belly can!"

"Wee willie winkie

Runs through the town

Upstairs and downstairs,

In his nightgown.

Rapping on the windows

Crying at the lock

Are the children

In their beds

It's past Eight o'clock?"
