* * *

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.

1. There was an Old Person of Leeds
2. There was an Old Man with a gong
3. There was an Old Man of the Isles
4. There was an Old Person of Ischia
5. There was an Old Man in a boat
