There was an Old Man of Whitehaven,
Who danced a quadrille with a Raven;
But they said--"It's absurd,
To encourage this bird!"
So they smashed that Old Man of Whitehaven.
E.Lear, 1846
Grab all and run
There was an old Man of Bohemia,
Whose daughter was christened Euphemia;
Till one day, to his grief,
She married a thief,
Which grieved that old Man of Bohemia.
E.Lear, 1846
