Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Ischia,
Whose conduct grew friskier and friskier;
‎       He dance hornpipes and jigs,
‎       And ate thousands of figs,
That lively Old Person of Ischia.

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