For a story about a guy, 50-something, who sold his home in the village and left Russia for Bulgaria (The Moscow News newspaper).
Thou Shalt Not Steal
There was an Old Person of Cheadle,
Was put in the stocks by the beadle;
For stealing some pigs,
Some coats, and some wigs,
That horrible Person of Cheadle.
E.Lear, 1846
A Strand occurrence
There was an Old Person of Anerley,
Whose conduct was strange and unmannerly;
He rushed down the Strand,
With a Pig in each hand,
But returned in the evening to Anerley.
E.Lear, 1846
Trotting on a swine
There was a Young Lady of Bute,
Who played on a silver-gilt flute;
She played several jigs,
To her uncle's white pigs,
That amusing Young Lady of Bute.
E.Lear, 1846
