Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an old man of Thermopylæ,
Who never did anything properly;
    But they said, "If you choose, 
    To boil eggs in your shoes,
You shall never remain in Thermopylæ."

1. There Was An Old Person Of Basing
2. There Was An Old Man Of Jamaica
3. He Lived at Dingle Bank
4. Cold Are The Crabs
5. There Was An Old Man Of Vienna
