Indy Limerick

There was an old man from Indianapolis
who - about the big race - was passionless,
"it's far too many miles
goin' nowhere with style;
I wish I'd been born in Minneapolis!"

Limerick of the Kenyan Burglar

There was a chill burglar from Kenya
who, as he worked, listened to Enya.
It lulled him to sleep,
a sleep far too deep.
He woke up where burglars, they send ya.

Milky Way Limerick

There was a man from the Milky Way
who never knew quite what to say,
when asked, "Where ya from?"
he pointed with thumbs
up, down, right, left, and every which way

Andean Limerick

There was a gambler from the Andes
who was fond of upping the antes,
but he got in deep debt
and started to bet:
"beachfront property here in the Andes!"

Kanyakumari Limerick

There was an old lady from Kanyakumari
who one day tripped on the hem of her sari.
She fell into the sea,
but said, "Please leave me be.
I've long wished to know the world beyond Kanyakumari."

Kuala Lumpur Limerick

There was a durian seller from K.L.
asked to leave the market 'cause of the smell.
"Buyers 'll find you with ease
from the scent of bad cheese,"
said the contrite landlord in his farewell.

Cambridge Limerick

There was an outlandish student of Cambridge
who only had space for the tiniest fridge.
It all had to go -
milk and meat in the snow.
Turns out he liked his gin chilled just a smidge.

Bishkek Limerick

There was a diligent soldier from Bishkek
whose boots never saw as much as a speck,
but marching to the flagpole
he showed scuffs on the sole,
and the Sergeant said, "Your uniform 's a wreck!"

Atlanta Limerick

There was an angry, old man from Atlanta
who each winter was tapped to play Santa.
In the suit he would bake,
scratching a beard that was fake,
as he fought Varsity dogs with piles of Mylanta.

Bhubaneswar Limerick

A crafty langur of Bhubaneswar
lived in the trees above the old bazaar.
He'd watch shoppers straggle
and shopkeepers haggle,
then slip in under everyone's radar.
