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
Keep your feet in the air!
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.
E.Lear, 1846
I will be right back
There was an Old Man of Coblenz,
The length of whose legs was immense;
He went with one prance,
From Turkey to France,
That surprising Old Man of Coblenz.
E.Lear, 1846
Stranger in a storm
There was an Old Man of Cape Horn,
Who wished he had never been born;
So he sat on a chair,
Till he died of despair,
That dolorous Man of Cape Horn.
E.Lear, 1846
