There once was a man from Nantucket

Who stowed his day’s lunch in a bucket.

It went into his car,

But the door was ajar,

And rodents sneaked in and tucket.

An ostrich and a shy kangaroo

Romantically met in a zoo

He said to her, Dear,

Don’t jump when I’m near 

Or the keepers will think that I scare you.

For groceries Ole and Lena once shopped

But he dropped a can on his foot and then hopped

From cereal to veggies,

From meats to cheese wedgies,

But the pain in his foot was not stopped.

There once was a man from Peru

Who wept when he lost his new shoe.

I said, “Don’t be sad.

It would be really bad

If you had lost not just one, but the two.

There once was a man from Siberia

Who with ears full of ice couldn’t hear ya.

So he put on warm clothes

From head to his toes

And soon thought that he’d moved to Liberia.
