Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Man of Whitehaven,
Who danced a quadrille with a raven;
    But they said, 'It's absurd
    To encourage this bird!'
So they smashed that Old Man of Whitehaven.

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