My limerick

There once was a man from Peru
Who didn't know what to do
Because of his mum
Married bum.
This is the story of the man from Peru.


One boy decided to visit a beehive
To get some pounds. Maybe three or five
But he forgot one detail
Which stung by its tail
The boy decided to visit a beehive.
