There was a brown bear from Slovenia
who had a bad case of anemia.
While his kin were vegetarian,

Hope you don’t meet the iron-shy bear of Slovenia.

Limerick of Qatar
There was an old man from Qatar —
where the temp measures “hot” or “hotter.”

Like Frosty, sans the puddle of water.

who had the longest neck around, by far,

she was the flex-necked gal of Myanmar.
