Poem by Edward Lear

* * *

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 Person of Ischia
3. There was an Old Man with a gong
4. There was an Old Man of the West
5. There was an Old Man of the Isles
