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