There was an old man from Peru,
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe;
He awoke in the night
In a terrible fright
And found it was perfectly true.
There was a young lady of Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And a smile on the face of the tiger.
There was a great man from Japan,
Whose name on a Tuesday began;
It lasted through Sunday,
Till midnight on Monday
And sounded like stones in a can.
