Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Cadiz,
Who was always polite to all ladies;
      But in handing his daughter,
      He fell into the water,
Which drowned that Old Person of Cadiz.

1. There was an Old Person of Ischia
2. There was an Old Person of Leeds
3. There was an Old Man with a gong
4. There was an Old Man in a barge
5. There was an Old Man in a boat
