Man From Peru

There once was a man from Peru,
who dreamed he was eating his shoe.

He woke up with a fright,
in the middle of the night,
and found that his dream had come true.

The day after that,
he sat on his cat,
and also got hit with a baseball bat!

It made him laugh when in the bath,
where he slipped on a bar of soap.

It made him mope
with a loss of hope,

Eventually he got over it,
and cooked with his new oven mit.
