Best Answer

There was a young man from Peru
Who found a large fly in his stew
Said the waiter 'Don't shout
and wave it about
Or the rest will be wanting one too.'

There was a young man from Kent
with a leg exceedingly Bent
To save himself trouble
He walked with it double
So instead of coming he went.


There was a young lady from Spain
who was dreadfully sick on a train
not once but again,
and again and again
and again and again and again.

There was a young man from Japan
who's limericks never would scan
when they told him it was so
he said 'yes I know
but I always try and get as many words in that last line as I ever possibly can.

There once was an elephant that fell off the roof.

The sound he made when he fell was poof.

He was sad, sad and hurt.

Not only that but he fell in dirt.

And once again he is back on the roof.

or...

There once was a man named Tim,

His mom never taught him to swim.

He slipped off the dock,

And sunk like a rock,

And that was the end of him.

But when men cried, "You flatter"
She replied, "Oh! no matter
Isle of Man is the true explanation"
by Lewis Carroll

Who said, 'It is just as I feared!

There once was a man from Peru,
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe.
He awoke with a fright,
In the middle of the night,
To find that his dream had come true.
