Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was a Young Lady of Parma,
Whose conduct grew calmer and calmer;
	When they said, 'Are you dumb?'
	She merely said, 'Hum!'
That provoking Young Lady of Parma.

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
