Эдвард Лир. There was a Young Lady of Norway

           Лимерик

Из Норвегии  молодая,
Раз в проёме двери восседая,
Закричала она: "Ё моё!"
Когда дверью прижало её,
Эта храбрая молодая.


There was a Young Lady of Norway,
Who casually sat in a doorway;
When the door squeezed her flat,
She exclaimed ‘What of that?’
This courageous Young Lady of Norway.

                Edward Lear

From the Internet:

"Learn from the books of nonsense"
refers to the whimsical, illogical, and humorous poetry and prose of Edward Lear (1812-1888), the father of the modern limerick, whose works like A Book of Nonsense feature absurd characters, playful illustrations, and catchy, song-like rhymes that teach joy through silliness and challenge conventional logic, as seen in his famous AABBA limericks about old men and ladies from various places.
