A Book of Nonsense

There was an Old Person of Spain

by Edward Lear: A Book of Nonsense

There was an Old Person of Spain,
Who hated all trouble and pain;
So he sate on a chair with his feet in the air,
That umbrageous Old Person of Spain.

There was an Old Man of the Hague

by Edward Lear: A Book of Nonsense

There was an Old Man of the Hague,
Whose ideas were excessively vague;
He built a balloon
To examine the moon,
That deluded Old Man of the Hague.
