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 Basing
2. There Was An Old Man Of Jamaica
3. He Lived at Dingle Bank
4. Cold Are The Crabs
5. There Was An Old Man Of Vienna
