SLOVENIA LIMERICK

There was a brown bear from Slovenia
who had a bad case of anemia.
While his kin were vegetarian,
he ate campers and carrion —
Hope you don’t meet the iron-shy bear of Slovenia.

AZERBAIJAN LIMERICK

There was a young man from Azerbaijan
who needed something to prop his feet on.

NEPAL LIMERICK

There was a hairy man from Nepal,
more hirsute than a Neanderthal.
One would be hard put
to tell him from Bigfoot,

HUNGARY LIMERICK

There was a young man from Hungary
who always wore his blue dungarees.
In summer they fit;
in winter, not a whit.
Chimney cake made his thighs thundery.

BOTSWANA LIMERICK

There was a safari guide in Botswana
who disliked being quizzed about fauna.
"I don't mean to be rude,
but there's Huge, Fast, and Food --
so, just three types of beast in Botswana."
