We Love Geographical Limericks

18th October 2003 at 16:41
Ok, I've given up on the Moo thing, I've got 10 and probably won't get many more. Thank you for all that helped :)

So anyway, Limericks. The internet is full of them, but mostly they don't rhyme (or even worse use the same word twice) and/or have really bad rhythm. And let's face it, the only real limericks are geographical ones, ie ones that start with 'There once was a [person] from [place]'. I believe I have found the only one on the internet that doesn't suck:
There was once a man from Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing.
It said on the door
Please don't spit on the floor
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.
and I fixed this one so it works better:
There once was a man from Peru
Who wanted to build a canoe.
He got to the river
And found with a shiver
He hadn't used waterproof glue.
So, on the back of the Moos, todays challenge is to find me more geographical limericks that don't suck, and post them to the comments section!

  1. It's not geographical, but my colleague Adrian's latest made me laff: http://www.holovaty.com/blog/archive/2003/10/18/2320

  5. There was once a dude in Japan
    Who drank oolong tea by the can
    He couldn't complain
    For he had a new name:
    From now on he'd be Tony-san


    moo.

  6. I don't know how good this is, but it's original and it's surely better than the unpleasant 'classic' it replaces:

    There once was a man from Nantucket
    In a fight with a guy with a bucket.
    Sure he would win,
    He said with a grin:
    "If you swing at my head, I will duck it!"
