He once wrote iambic pentameter.
The crowds cheered the words they could barely hear.
At Stratford-on-Avon
He could gain much more fame on

Happy National Limerick Day!
A limerick is a five-line humorous poem with a distinct AABBA rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm.
Edward Lear (born today) popularised the form in the 19th century, frequently using them in his #Book of Nonsense.

This past Friday was National Limerick Day!
"Commedia dell'arte and limericks?
Two arts much alike once you consider it's
Both rather bawdy,
Often quite naughty,
In the end it's all just just jokes about... tricks."https://nationaltoday.com/national-limerick-day/

@tdc #dailycreate #tdc4137 #ds106 For #LimerickDay and Edward Lear, a wobbly poem on another Lear
Norman, a Lear, related to Edward? no much yunker.
Not a nonsene poet, his sitcoms hardly a clunker,
Shows pitched as comedy
Really social commentary
His Dad a "rascal" the model for Archie Bunker -

There once was a poet called Lear
Whose influence on my verse should be clear
So as I conform
To a limerick form
I ask that we give Lear a cheer -
In Russia, one word could invite them
To smash all your things and ignite them;
So on Limerick Day
It’s important to say
That at least we’re entitled to write them.
