Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Bromley,
Whose ways were not cheerful or comely;
     He sate in the dust, 
     Eating spiders and crust,
That unpleasing old person of Bromley.

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
