Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Person of Sparta,
Who had twenty-one sons and one 'darter';
He fed them on snails,
And weighed them in scales,
That wonderful Person of Sparta. 

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