Nonsense Verse Made City Famous. “That five-line st a which most of us are guilty of attempting to com- pose at various times in our careers made the town as well as Edward | Lear famous. And many notables, | such as Rudyvard Kipling, George du Maurier, Gelett Burgess and Carolyn Wells, have tried their hands at pen- ning it. It is said that the composi- tion of limericks originated as a form of amusement when a crowd of peo- ple gathered together for a pleasant evening in the Irish town. Each person was supposed to compose ul‘ stanza in turn, and the following chorus was sung after each new rhyme in order to give the next con- tributor time to get his limerick| ready: | “ ‘Oh, won't you come up, come up, | come up, | Oh, won't you come up to Limer-| ek ?

On the island in the river the ancient Limerick had its beginnings, and today its maze of crooked streets, and its old cathedral dating from 1170 are important points of interest. “Limerick also has her and poetry.
