English Poetry. Edward Lear. There Was an Old Man of Peru. Эдвард Лир. Старичок из-под города Пскова

Edward Lear (Эдвард Лир)

* * *

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

Перевод на русский язык

* * *

Старичок из-под города Пскова 
Наблюдал за готовкой жаркого.
	По ошибке жена
	В печь внесла его на
большом противне вместо жаркого.
