Kuala Lumpur Limerick

There was a durian seller from K.L.
asked to leave the market 'cause of the smell.
"Buyers 'll find you with ease
from the scent of bad cheese,"
said the contrite landlord in his farewell.

Cambridge Limerick

There was an outlandish student of Cambridge
who only had space for the tiniest fridge.
It all had to go -
milk and meat in the snow.
Turns out he liked his gin chilled just a smidge.

Bishkek Limerick

There was a diligent soldier from Bishkek
whose boots never saw as much as a speck,
but marching to the flagpole
he showed scuffs on the sole,
and the Sergeant said, "Your uniform 's a wreck!"

Atlanta Limerick

There was an angry, old man from Atlanta
who each winter was tapped to play Santa.
In the suit he would bake,
scratching a beard that was fake,
as he fought Varsity dogs with piles of Mylanta.

Bhubaneswar Limerick

A crafty langur of Bhubaneswar
lived in the trees above the old bazaar.
He'd watch shoppers straggle
and shopkeepers haggle,
then slip in under everyone's radar.

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!"
