Limericks by Edward Lear from A Book of Nonsense

 

 

Limerick
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!' 

Limerick
There was an Old Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, 'With a needle,
I'll slay you, O beadle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.

It was time to try a different approach. I decided to find John Costello first and talk to him. I wanted to find out why his car hit Anne’s and almost killed her. I knew Costello lived in Santa Monica, so I drove up the freeway and got off near Main Street. I went to the address Officer Cho gave me and knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked on the apartment manager’s door. An old woman answered. “Excuse me, I’m trying to find John Costello. He lives in number 503.”

Things were starting to make more sense to me now. I was beginning to see what had really happened to Sarah Salas, and why she was killed. But I had no proof to show that I was right. I needed to get some real evidence. I went home and rang up Kathy Chang. I asked her to do me a big favor that night. Fortunately, she said “yes.” Now I was ready. I turned on the television and watched the baseball game. I had some time to kill until it was dark outside. When it was nighttime, I got in my car and started driving

In the name of God

 

My "beginning" and "ending":

 

0             In the name of God, who is nearby, within these gillyflowers, at the foot of yonder lofty oak, on the stream's awareness and on the plant's law!

Well generally speaking when I started to study English in your institute I had mixed and blended feelings 'cause on the one hand at that time my justifications for language learning were somehow maniac, for example I thought that why we should learn another language if we go to a foreign country  we'll have a translator. On the other hand prior to my learning this language my needs about computer were so lower. Besides when I was at the level of "Elementary" I had fears considerable, so it was hard to allay my fears. Fortunately 'cause I've always been optimistic to the future I passed and allay them. Moreover, your marvelous system of language learning helped me considerable that's 'cause I always owe you.

 

 

0             I owe much gratitude to many people and God, my family and grand family who were the best promoters for me. Thank to Payam Persa's members for their statistical advice and marvelous management.  So many thanks to my friends 'cause of their humors and supports. The last but not least, I want to thank you 'cause of three testimonies:

 

                                                 I.A marvelous teaching and succesful new techniques of language learning  

                                              II.A brilliant management

                                           III.And laborious working that it's dominant about you.

 

The last word is for my father, who has always been eager to see my progresses in learning; he's the greatest gift of all.

Recent inquiries have shown that most of adults' problems in school, house and… such as aggression, guilt, cigarette smoking and …are related to low "Self believing".

In fact whatever a person has a higher "Self believing" he can be in the best situations and case. Besides he's immune to the psychic and social torts.

0   If you aren't healthy, no problem lots of people live very well with illnesses.

 

0   If you aren't handsome and scrumptious, no problem lots of people live so easy.

 

0   If you aren't ettered, no problem lots of people live without any degrees from collages.

 

0   However, if you haven't "Self believing" be sorry 'cause you have nothing and you are not able to survive!
