There was an old man from Qatar —
where the temp measures “hot” or “hotter.”
He’d go out in the day,
’til he melted away —
Like Frosty, sans the puddle of water.

There was a hairy man from Nepal,

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.

There was a boy from Mongolia
who had a taste for Coca-Col-i-a,

’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.

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.
