Poem by Anonymous

Limerick. “There was an old man, who averred …”

There was an old man, who averred 
He had learned to fly like a bird.
         Cheered by thousands of people
         He leapt from the steeple –
This tomb states the date it occurred. 

1. Inscription on a Gravestone in the Churchyard of Melrose Abbey
