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!"

Cuzco Limerick

The Conquistador who "founded" Cuzco
apparently, did not get the memo.
"My lips to your ear,
it's already there.
It's been a city since Moors ruled Toledo."

Amsterdam Limerick

A mother who was visiting Amsterdam
strolled around town pushing her child's pram.
'twas such a delight
'til she hit the red lights,
and her boy saw a game of hide the wild yam.

A proprietor of old Kathmandu
epitomized the spirit can-do,

neckties and swim trunks,
and even sold ascetics kazoos.

Kuala Lumpur Limerick

Two builders working in Kuala Lumpur
vied to outdo each other's grandeur;
but one tower is straight,

So, I guess we know who won that war.

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."

Chennai Limerick

"How big 's the beach?" asked a tourist in Chennai
"the beach is half-a-klick," came the reply.

but it is almost half a klick wide!"

Bishkek Limerick

A baker from the city of Bishkek
made breads that were so fully bedecked -
the patterns so fancy -
I felt so unclassy,
devouring every last crumb and fleck.

Almaty Limerick

A visitor to scenic Almaty
was dismayed to find no apple trees.
He couldn't be blamed;
it's right in the name,
but he's stuck with a store picking spree.

Puducherry Limerick

A fishmonger of old Puducherry
struggled to find a spouse to marry.
It wasn’t what you think-
unless you think it fish stink-
that made the prospective mates wary.
