Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Basing,
Whose presence of mind was amazing;
	He purchased a steed,
	Which he rode at full speed,
And escaped from the people of Basing. 

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
