There was a plump man of Hyderabad
who was known to be quite a tightwad,
but he ate his biryani
and never was scrawny.
He had a Hyderabadi biryani bod-y.
Slant and forced rhymes have always been a feature of the limerick form. Furthermore, where locals pronounce a thing one way and the rest of the universe pronounce it another, it might seem more proper to rhyme as locals do, but it’s more sensible to rhyme as everyone else does. E.g. I would rhyme Budapest with “rest” even though in Hungarian it would be properly rhymed with “meshed.”
Nice, but the rhyme scheme is awry.
