There was an old person of Pisa,
Whose daughters did nothing to please her;
She dressed them in gray,
And banged them all day,
Round the walls of the city of Pisa.
There was an old person of Florence,
Who held mutton chops in abhorrence;
He purchased a Bustard,
And fried him in Mustard,
Which choked that old person of Florence.
There was an old person of Sheen,
Whose expression was calm and serene;
He sate in the water,
And drank bottled porter,
That placid old person of Sheen.
There was an old person of Ware,
Who rode on the back of a bear;
When they ask'd, "Does it trot?"
He said, "Certainly not!
He's a Moppsikon Floppsikon bear!"
There was a young person of Janina,
Whose uncle was always a fanning her;
When he fanned off her head,
She smiled sweetly, and said,
"You propitious old person of Janina!"
There was an old man of Cashmere,
Whose movements were scroobious and queer;
Being slender and tall,
He looked over a wall,
And perceived two fat ducks of Cashmere.
There was an old person of Cassel,
Whose nose finished off in a tassel;
But they call'd out, "Oh well!
Don't it look like a bell!"
Which perplexed that old person of Cassel.
There was an old person of Pett,
Who was partly consumed by regret;
He sate in a cart,
And ate cold apple tart,
Which relieved that old person of Pett.
There was an old man of Spithead,
Who opened the window, and said,-
"Fil-jomble, fil-jumble,
Fil-rumble-come-tumble!"
That doubtful old man of Spithead.
There was an old man on the Border,
Who lived in the utmost disorder;
He danced with the cat,
And made tea in his hat,
Which vexed all the folks on the Border.
