Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Man with a flute,
A serpent ran into his boot;
	But he played day and night,
	Till the serpent took flight,
And avoided that man with a flute.

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
