Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an old man of Boulak,		                         
Who sate on a Crocodile’s back;
     But they said, “Towr’ds the night
     He may probably bite,
Which might vex you, old man of Boulak!”

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 Man in a boat
5. There was an Old Man of the West
