Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;
	But she seized on the cat,
	And said, 'Granny, burn that!
You incongruous Old Woman of Smyrna!'

1. There was an Old Person of Leeds
2. There was an Old Person of Ischia
3. There was an Old Man with a gong
4. There was an Old Man of the West
5. There was an Old Man of the Isles
