There once was a man from Peru,
He dreamed he was eating his shoe,
He awoke with a fright,
In the middle of the night,
And found that his dream had come true.
There once was a man named Bob,
He loved to eat corn on the cob,
But he ate it so loud,
He attracted a crowed,
Now everyone calls him a slob.
I wrote this next one my self (go easy on me I'm only 13)
There once was a girl named Jean,
She always wanted to work on a trend
But then one day,
They just had to say,
You can't work here because you're too mean
for the men
I once met a girl from Milan.
For a living, she always ran.
Her legs felt happy.
But she was sappy.
So she married a man named Chan.
A fussy old woman named Breeze
Thought her house was infested with fleas.
So she used gasoline
And her form was last seen
Flying over the tops of the trees.
Some examples...

There once was a man from Great Britain
Who interrupted two girls at their knittin'.
Said he with a sigh,
"That park bench, well I
Just painted it right where you're sittin'."
There once was a man named Clyde
Who fell into an outhouse and died
His unfortunate brother
Who fell through another
Now they're interred side by side
