Edward Lear Revisited

There was a young man in the Netherlands
Who had courted a girl in some other lands.
But upon his arrival
He encountered a rival
And abruptly returned to the Netherlands.

There was an old person of Bristol
Who did threaten his wife with a pistol.
In a fit of just rage
She locked him in a cage
Which appeased that old person of Bristol.

There was an old lady of Pisa
Who tried crossing the world with no visa.
At the border of Russia
She said “No, I ain’t rushin’",
And directed her pace back to Pisa.
