The Old Man of the South

The Old Man of the South, an illustration by JVL in The Nonsense Verse of Edward Lear
Jonathan Cape, 1984 and reissued 2012.

There was an Old Man of the South,
Who had an immoderate mouth;
But in swallowing a dish, that was quite full of fish,
He was choked, that Old Man of the South.
