And his neighbours thought he was dead.
Never giving a call,
Never saying hello
To a very old man of Bagdad.

And he often and loudly sneezed.
He repeated, "I'm sorry!

There was a Starving Brahmin of Delhi
Who was thinking about his belly.
"I have fried meat
Which I can not eat.
Oh why am I Brahmin of Delhi?".
There was a Lady of Ecuador
And she always slept on the floor.
Snoring near her pets,
Never seen any beds,
No idea, what are they for!

Who did nothing but horribly danced.
Failed in charleston
So he danced all alone,

And he prayed for love and for peace.
People stared at him
And started to grin:
"He's too hairy to live here in Greece!".
One student lived in Havana
And wrote on his books 'Nota Bene!'.
Once he run out of books,
Which is worse than it looks,
But he stayed anyway in Havana.
One Irishman was very keen
On what are you thinking of him.
'I'm from Ireland, oh my,
Not from Iceland!' he cried...
But are you still thinking of him?

All his life he was jealous of bakers.
'I'd be one if I must,
But won't I spoil the crust?
What a pity I can't join the bakers!'
A scientist of Katmandu
Was studying what men can do.
He was jumping all night
Yet his feelings were bright.

And one morning he woke up abandoned.
He looked for his Mum
But no-one he found
Except lonely city of London.

But she's not upset,
This ignorant girl of Madrid.

And spent there a year and four.

One woman was thinking that Paris
Is about to finally perish
And Louvre would dare
To vanish in air...

But they couldn't find singers to back.
They were quarrelling madly
And hurt Bassist badly...

Eveyrbody could see she was eager
To dance and to laugh
And to fly like a dove.

But his efforts were all in vain
For his wife realized
It won't be a surprise
If her hubby remains there in Spain.

Sounds like H is sharped.

'What are you talking about,
It's only a trout!',

Didn't know what to do with his nails.

And he had a considered opinion.
"Believe it or not,
