Filipino Limerick

There was an exporter from the Philippines
who got his start in karaoke machines,
then shoes and suits
and nurses and fruits
and, lastly, stretch-Jeepney limousines.

Limerick of Peru

There was a lady from Lima, Peru
who had only seen llamas at the Zoo,
and though the trend was big,
she didn’t eat guinea pig.
Such is life on a Miraflores avenue.

Netherlands Limerick

There was a sweet girl from the Netherlands
who worried the hard rains might never end. 
When the streets became moats, 
she traded bike for boat, 
and rowed fast that girl of the Netherlands. 

Limerick of Nepal

There was a hairy man from Nepal,
more hirsute than a Neanderthal.
One would be hard put
to tell him from Bigfoot,
’til turned gray that old man of Nepal.

Limerick of Myanmar

There was a young woman from Myanmar
who had the longest neck around, by far,
but when she shed the rings
her neck drooped like a string-
she was the flex-necked gal of Myanmar.

Limerick of Mongolia

There was a boy from Mongolia
who had a taste for Coca-Col-i-a,
but only sporadically
’cause he lived nomadically
and they won’t ship to: “A Yurt in Mongolia.”

Limerick of Mexico


There was a great wrestler from Mexico
who went by the name “el Comando.”
His mask was quite garish.
His tactics nightmarish.
He’s the least stealthy soldier of Mexico.

Limerick of Malaysia

There was an Orangutan from Malaysia
who dreamed of leaving Southeast Asia.
“Sure, I’d love to linger,
but it’s hard being ginger
when you live deep in the heart of Asia.”

Kyrgyzstan Limerick

There was an old woman from Kyrgyzstan
who went to the lake daily, feeding swans,
but it’s not a swan lake —
just plovers, gulls, and crakes
learned the woman who’d been badly conned.

A Limerick of Kenya

There was a Professor from Kenya
who was hoping to soon make ten-ya.
He studied the past,
but, there, things move fast —
always outrunning that scholar from Kenya.
