  3. There was an Old Man of Vienna,Who lived upon Tincture of Senna;When that did not agree,He took Camomile Tea,That nasty Old Man of Vienna

  4. There was an Old Person whose habits,Induced him to feed upon rabbits;When he'd eaten eighteen,He turned perfectly green,Upon which he relinquished those habits.

  5. There was an Old Man of the West,Who wore a pale plum-coloured vest;When they said, 'Does it fit?'He replied, 'Not a bit!'That uneasy Old Man of the West.

  6. There was an Old Man in a tree,Who was horribly bored by a Bee;When they said, 'Does it buzz?'He replied, 'Yes, it does!''It's a regular brute of a Bee!'

  7. There was an Old Man in a boat,Who said, 'I'm afloat, I'm afloat!'When they said, 'No! you ain't!'He was ready to faint,That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
