Darjeeling Limerick

There was a tourist in Darjeeling 
whose fingers and toes lost all feeling.
He didn’t remember
it’s cold in December,
and the dearth of heaters left him reeling.

Atlanta Limerick

There once was a man from Atlanta
who wouldn't drink Coke, Sprite, or Fanta.
They called him crackpot,
fired him on the spot,
and he was put on the naughty list by Santa.

Manila Limerick

There was a grumpy man of Manila
who didn't care the slightest scintilla.
He'd lay on the horn -
even on Sunday morn.
When the sign failed, the Church hired a guerilla.

Ulan Bator Limerick

A craftsman from old Ulan Bator
made Genghis Khan statues by the score.
"Call me a fierce lauder,
but he's the best marauder.
We haven't marauded well since days of yore."

Doha Limerick

An old woman expat in Doha
looked over the wall and said, "Aha!
"It's back! The spacecraft."
"Woman, don't be daft,
"It's been here 'fore we came from Utah!"

Cuzco Limerick

The Conquistador who "founded" Cuzco
apparently, did not get the memo.
"My lips to your ear,
it's already there.
It's been a city since Moors ruled Toledo."

Amsterdam Limerick

A mother who was visiting Amsterdam
strolled around town pushing her child's pram.
'twas such a delight
'til she hit the red lights,
and her boy saw a game of hide the wild yam.

Kathmandu Limerick

A proprietor of old Kathmandu
epitomized the spirit can-do,
selling hippies and monks
neckties and swim trunks,
and even sold ascetics kazoos.

Kuala Lumpur Limerick

Two builders working in Kuala Lumpur
vied to outdo each other's grandeur;
but one tower is straight,
and the other one ain't.
So, I guess we know who won that war.

Jaipur Limerick

There was an old painter from Jaipur
who painted ceilings, floors, walls, and doors.
'Til his boss raised a stink,
and said, "Paint it all pink!"
"I've not enough pink cans for that chore."
