There was an Old Man with a owl,

Who continued to bother and howl;

He sat on a rail

And imbibed bitter ale,

Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.

There was an Old Person from Gretna (был /как-то/ старик из Гретны[2] /деревня в Шотландии/),

Who rushed down the crater of Etna (который устремился = сбежал вниз кратера Этны);

When they said, 'Is it hot (когда его спросили: Горячо/жарко)?'

He replied, 'No, it's not (он ответил: Нет, не жарко)!'

That mendacious Old Person of Gretna (этот лживый старик из Гретны).
