The parrot stands, as if jilted.
The chipmunk sniffs, as if intrigued.
Parrot behaves ever so stilted.
Chipmunk is just hungry and fatigued.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LIMERICK
There was a Bedouin from the UAE
who never in his life had seen a tree.
Walking through lands
of endless sands,
he had nothing to hide behind to take a pee.

CAMBODIA LIMERICK
There was a Cambodian archaeologist
who dug up temples in jungles – get the gist.
But one day his dig,
under a Strangler Fig,
got him strangled… or so claimed the botanist.

summer grasses
wave atop a once mighty fort
that's gone to seed.

NETHERLANDS LIMERICK
There was a sweet girl from the Netherlands
who worried the hard rains might never end.
When street became moat,
She traded bike for boat.
At canal-surfing she became a veteran.

Eddies in the Stream [Haiku]
clear water glides
over a rocky streambed:
eddies form & fade.

MONGOLIA LIMERICK
There was a young monk from Mongolia
Who loved Buddhism’s peace, but was only a
little bit dismayed
to long for the days –
When Mongols ruled from Okhotsk to Anatolia.

UNITED STATES LIMERICK
There was a philosopher from the USA
Who was always charging into the fray.
He’d take either side --
Go deep or go wide --
So long as said fray didn’t come to gunplay.

ARMENIA LIMERICK
There was an artist from Armenia
Who worked in many a media.
Work iconoclastic…
Or pornographic;
Often it started straitlaced but got seedy-ya.
