There was a Young Lady of Welling,
Whose praise all the world was a-telling;
She played on the harp, and caught several Carp,
That accomplished Young Lady of Welling.
– Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)

There was an Old Man who supposed
That the street door was partially closed;
But some very large Rats ate his coats and his hats,
While that futile Old Gentleman dozed.

Crime and punishment are the theme of the 14th episode of Nonsense Stories, premiering this morning on Blip.TV, starring the wife of that unfortunate man of Peru. Richard M. Nixon is on hand to express his sadness and revulsion over the heinous crime that led to our Peruvian’s unfortunate demise.
There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who watched his wife making a stew;
But once, by mistake, in a stove she did bake
That unfortunate Man of Peru.

ARG! is moving Nonsense Stories from Sundays on YouTube to Mondays to Blip.TV effective Monday, June 11. The studio management has determined that Blip.TV is a better fit for this series, since Blip is focused on high quality webisodes.
Here are the 12 episodes of Nonsense Stories that are now featured on Blip.TV:
There was a Young Lady of Lucca, Whose lovers completely forsook her; She ran up a tree, and said “Fiddle-de-dee!” Which embarrassed the people of Lucca. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
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. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was an Old Man of the Coast, Who placidly sat on a post; But when it was cold he relinquished his hold, And called for some hot buttered toast. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, “It is just as I feared! Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard.” — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was a Young Lady of Wales, Who caught a large Fish without scales; When she lifted her hook, she exclaimed, “Only look!” That ecstatic Young Lady of Wales. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was a Young Lady of Tyre, Who swept the loud chords of a lyre; At the sound of each sweep she enraptured the deep, And enchanted the city of Tyre. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was an Old Man with a poker, Who painted his face with red ochre. When they said, “You’re a Guy!” he made no reply, But knocked them all down with his poker. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
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.” — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was an Old Lady of Chertsey, Who made a remarkable curtsey; She twirled round and round, till she sank underground, Which distressed all the people of Chertsey. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
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. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was a Young Lady whose chin Resembled the point of a pin; So she had it made sharp, and purchased a harp, And played several tunes with her chin. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
There was an Old Person of Mold, Who shrank from sensations of cold; So he purchased some muffs, some furs, and some fluffs, And wrapped himself well from the cold. — Edward Lear, A Book of Nonsense (1846)
