Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Man of Jamaica,
Who suddenly married a Quaker;
	But she cried out, 'Alack!
	I have married a black!'
Which distressed that Old Man of Jamaica.

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
