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 Person of Ischia
3. There was an Old Man with a gong
4. There was an Old Man of the West
5. There was an Old Man of the Isles
