"There once was a man from Peru
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He awoke in the night with a terrible fright
To find out his dream had come true"
OK. So yes this is a children's nursery rhyme, but I'm bored and felt like nitpicking. Most other nursery rhymes make some sense (as much as a nursery rhyme can anyways) but this one just doesn't sit right. A dream like that is one thing, but for it to be true that man had to physically get up whilst sleeping obtain a shoe and proceed munching on it. I am aware people do sleepwalk, but those people simply meander around and occasionally mumble something funny. This man, however; grabbed and item and tried eating it, and unless he's extra weird and sleeps with his shoes on his night stand he most likely walked the length of his house. Again, I'm just being nitpicky but that was what was on my mind.
