Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

There was an Old Man of Madras,
Who rode on a cream-coloured ass;
	But the length of its ears,
	So promoted his fears,
That it killed that Old Man of Madras. 

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