Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an old man of Dumbree,
Who taught little owls to drink tea;
	For he said, “To eat mice
	Is not proper or nice,”
That amiable man of Dumbree.

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
