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."
"How big 's the beach?" asked a tourist in Chennai
"the beach is half-a-klick," came the reply.
"No, he's got it wrong;
it's six K. M. long,
but it is almost half a klick wide!"
