Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Hurst,
Who drank when he was not athirst;
	When they said, “You’ll grow fatter,”
	He answered, “What matter?”
That globular Person of Hurst.

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
