Who watched his wife making a stew;
But once by mistake,
In a stove she did bake,
That unfortunate Man of Peru.

There was an Old Man of Melrose,
Who walked on the tips of his toes;
But they said, "It ain't pleasant,
To see you at present,
You stupid Old Man of Melrose."

Whose lovers completely forsook her;
She ran up a tree,
And said, "Fiddle-de-dee!"
Which embarassed the people of Lucca.
