Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense

‘There was an old man in a tree, Who was horribly bored by a Bee …

‘There was a Young Lasdy whose nose,
Was s long that it reached to her toes ..

‘There was an Old Person of Pisa,
Whos daughters did nothing to please her …’

He danced with the cat, and made tea in his hat,

Which vexed all the folks on the Border.
