Poem by Anonymous

Limerick. “There was a young poet of Trinity…”

There was a young poet of Trinity
Who, although he could trill like a linnet, he
	Could never complete
	Any poem with feet,
Saying, “Idiots,
	Can’t you see
	That what I’m writing
		Happens
		To be
		Free
Verse?”

1. Shakespeare’s Monument at Stratford-upon-Avon
2. The Guard-Chamber
3. Bide ye yet by
4. Were Ye at the Pier o’ Leith?
5. Sir Richard Whittington’s Advancement
