Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Gretna,
Who rushed down the crater of Etna;
	When they said, 'Is it hot?'
	He replied, 'No, it's not!'
That mendacious Old Person of Gretna.

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