    There was an Old Man at a Junction,
    Whose feelings were wrung with compunction
    When they said, “The Train’s gone!” he exclaimed, “How forlorn!”

    There was an old person of Deal,
    Who in walking used only his heel;
    When they said, “Tell us why?” he made no reply,
    That mysterious old person of Deal.

    There was an old man on the Humber,
    Who dined on a cake of Burnt Umber;
    When he said, “It’s enough!” they only said, “Stuff!

    There was an old man in a barge,
    Whose nose was exceedingly large;
    But in fishing by night, it supported a light,
    Which helped that old man in a barge.

    [Illustration]

    There was an old man of Dunrose;
    A parrot seized hold of his nose. 
    When he grew melancholy, they said, “His name’s Polly,”
    Which soothed that old man of Dunrose.

    [Illustration]

    There was an old man of Toulouse
    Who purchased a new pair of shoes;
    When they asked, “Are they pleasant?” he said, “Not at present!”
    That turbid old man of Toulouse.
