Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Man of Calcutta,
Who perpetually ate bread and butter,
‎	Till a great bit of muffin,
‎	On which he was stuffing,
Choked that horrid Old Man of Calcutta.

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
