If ever you're praising Seoul,
Say, "Ah"--then a pause-- and then "soul."
If you do not pause,
(Among their strict laws)
The judge: "Thirty days, you ahsss hole."
--- Irving Superior P9301

A Turk caught a Greek in his harem,
And remarked: "Man, you sure harem scare 'em!
I'm calling my Solicitor,
You uninvited visitor.
Take care donning your pants and don't tear 'em!"
--- Arthur Deex P0607

I asked Mr. Nguyen to explain
How, in legal matters, he ever made claim,
For in his homeland,
Which we call Vietnam,
Everyone's last name is the same.
--- Anom

And their first names are hard to forget,
For one syllable is as big as they get.
It's something like Gam,
Dem, Yen or Van;
Any three letter word's a safe bet.
--- Anom

Mr Nguyen had to concede
That his last name was quite common, indeed.
There, you must be wary
Of whom you're to marry,
Or you just might interbreed.
--- Tiddy Ogg

I hiked through Asia with the Morgans,
They're much uglier than two Gorgans!
And they told me, "We know
If we travel too slow,
The natives might harvest our organs."
--- David Miller

The Formosans foresaw the problem,
So they hid, before Mao could condemn,
All the good limericks
In a case of chopsticks.
Then they smuggled them out! Both of them!
--- William N Nesbit P0512Q

Now President Jiang's heard some fumin'
On how he's ignoring rights human.
Will he fess that he's wrong?
Not while trade is so strong,
That folk's rights don't affect market boomin'!
--- Prof M-G T9711

I went off to China last summer;
The telephone system's a bummer.
I picked up the thing,
To ring Mr Wing;
Alas though, I wang the Wong number.
--- Tiddy Ogg

In China I'm told that "How Long"
Has little to do with a dong.
But instead is the name
Of an oversexed dame,
Who works on the streets of Hong Kong.
--- Anon

Can a lim be composed in Chinese? **
Does a Chink eating Chow get obese?
I just got the word
That I'm getting absurd.
So now I'll desist and decease.

(** Of course not, no four letter words)

A young man I met, he's a Mongol,
Has a great chat-up patter, and Wong'll
Tells gals he'll give pleasure
Beyond normal measure,
If they'll let him plug in his dongle.
--- Tiddy Ogg

He met with this girl who could Yak
And soon she was flat on her back.
But now I talk wet
'Cause yaks come from Tibet;
I'd better go read up my FAQ.
--- Tiddy Ogg

If he's a true Mongol, I'll bet he
Won't care'f she's a yak or a yeti.
If she's good in bed,
At least gives some head,
She gets a parade -- with confetti!
--- Scott Oliver

There was a young man from Beijing;
Claimed he could make the Fat Lady sing.
He wafted his wand
Down deep in her frond,
And unleashed a sizeable spring!
--- Lo and Behold T9707

Said my brother who went to Beijing,
"It's impressive and quite amazing,
With no trouble at all,
I climbed onto the Wall
And then jogged the full length of the thing.
--- Loren C Fitzhugh P9702

The Great Wall of Chgina took years
To build, and involved miles of tears:
Oh God how they died
To raise up its height,
Just hoisting the bricks past their ears.
--- Matthew Montchalin

Slave labor and sweat makes for miles
Of ramparts of rocky stone tiles,
And it keeps on going,
Like a river that's flowing,
Thought parts of it now are just piles.
--- Matthew Montchalin

How wide was the wall in most places?
Aside from odd arches and faces,
Four men could stand there,
Breathe easy and fair,
And walk to each side in ten paces.
--- Matthew Montchalin

It's on the Mongolian edge,
Much better than a holly-thorned hedge.
Shih-Wang thought it up,
From the leaves in his cup,
And later, when watering his ditch:
--- Matthew Montchalin

"For as water descends, rocks shall rise,
And so shall a wall of great size,
With boulders and rocks
And stone-building blocks,
And slaves who are used as though flies."
--- Matthew Montchalin

It runs East and West in direction,
But zigzags at times, in correction,
And blocks off the path
Of nomads en masse,
For whom they desired some protection.
--- Matthew Montchalin

Though nowadays, crossing odd states,
Ascending four moutainous grades,
It once closed off plains
Of horsemen with reins,
Fierce Mongols in horse leather suedes.
--- Matthew Montchalin

A wall of this size and expense,
Might well have made lots of good sense,
Persuading invaders
And horse-riding raiders,
To stay on their side of the fence.
--- Matthew Montchalin

But also, it served to impress,
Under point of sharp spear, or duress,
A million or more
To work until sore,
And die as though pawns, as in chess.
--- Matthew Montchalin

How well I remember Hong Kong;
It reminds me of that old sweet song,
That I heard in a disco
About San Francisco...
Hang on -- I thing I've got that wrong.
--- Bill Wall

The people who live in Hong Kong
Must all learn to sing a new song.
Will the ones who won't sing
Disappear from the ring?
I guess we'll all know before long.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Michael Jackson stopped off at Hong Kong,
And performed the new national song.
He grabbed at his crotch,
And looked at his watch,
Saying, "Sorry guys, this is 'So Long'."
--- Arthur Deex P9709

Having met at a ball in Hong Kong,
A chap wed a girl called Ping Pong.
Her mother, Ping Pat,
Was such an old bat,
The marriage went horribly wrong.
--- Funfax Limericks

Those lims about cock and vagina
And lambs will not get that much finah,
Till approved by the Koran
Or "Made in Japan"
Or folks start to read them in China.
--- Anon

I'm in love, metaphorically speaking,
With a cute little lady from Peking,
And intend to up-end her
And give her pudenda
The sort of attention they're seeking.
--- Michael Horgan

In China the smartest of sages
Knows where to buy things with their wages.
At the nearest hotel,
Ring the bell captains bell,
And then look for the yellow pages.
--- Tom Patton P0209

Chairman Mao said who can and who can't,
As part of his doctrine implant.
The little Red Book
Was his personal look
At a life with a quite different slant.
--- Doug Harris

This is file jpm

As a communist, one who embarks
On this route; he should keep his remarks.
How so? Tongue-in-cheek
And be true to the clique,
If he wants to get very top Marx.
--- Doug Harris

On the Long March, a tired Chairman Mao
Spent the night in a sty with a sow.
He awoke with a song,
Saw his cock had grown long,
So he screwed her and then took a bow.
--- Don Moore

Three Chinese, Fu, Bu and Chu,
Had names that just wouldn't do.
Bu became Buck,
Chu became Chuck,
And Fu just returned to Kiangsu.
--- TuttaGioia

A lama of Outer Mongolia
Was seized by acute melancholia;
When the Chinese asked why,
He could only reply:
"You'd chop off my head if I tolia."
--- Ogden Nash

A terrible blight is this SARS;
It kills old folks, kids, and their Ma's.
Hong Kong's in the thick,
But the Chinks aren't as sick
As the vectors of filth in "gay" bars.
--- Alexander Baron

When you travel to Shanghai may you
Find a blend of the old and the new.
You'll see few folks rotund
As you stroll down the Bund;
(That's the sea wall that fronts the Wangpoo.)
--- Loren C Fitzhugh P9702

Three daughters of Mandarin Tu,
First virgins that I ever knew,
Were a curious lot
Who tempted me not
As much as their dowery to woo.
--- E J Quinby P8902

This Mandarin made a proposal;
He put his brood at my disposal.
"You take Tu Yung Tu,
Or perhaps Tu Dum Tu,
Or try Noh Yen Tu on approval."

Despite all the lures of Cathay,
I elected to hurry away,
And hide aboard Ida,
So on the next tide, a-
Way down the coast to Malay.

(served aboard the Ida in the early days of 'Spark')

The people of Tibet shout and cheer.
"The Chinese military are here.
We'll sell them our yaks
For Chinese Greenbacks.
In each case, they get a bum steer."
--- Thomas M Patton P9712

The Chinese defensive deployment
Brought Tibet the greatest enjoyment.
Males, from minors to gramps
In concentration camps,
Solved the problem of unemployment.
--- Thomas M Patton P9712

A nephew of old Abe Vigoda
Lived in a Chinese pagoda,
Till a tyrant named Mao
Said, "I live here now,
And you, sir, have no home to-go-ta."
--- Keith Gilman P0112

That in China what once was immutable
Has changed, is no longer disputable.
Though your male Asiatic
May remain enigmatic,
The women are not all inscrutable.
--- A N Wilkins P9212

I propose that we all say finito
To premature words. Akihito?
The name of Japan's
Current Emperor? Man!
Time for etymological veto.
--- Rory Ewins Q

A Japanese pilot gained fame
As the last Kamikaze, a claim
Few historians doubt,
For they note that the lout
Was one Chicken Suzuki by name.
--- A N Wilkins P9206a

A wonderful feature of Asia
Is the talented girls they call Geisha.
They pour tea and dance
And the men they entrance.
They're not born, it's the way they raise ya.
--- Tom Patton P0609

The geisha has one little jest:
As soon as you've got her undressed,
You'll find when her mouth
Is aimed at the south,
Her pussy is facing due west.
--- Norm Storer P9212

Geisha girls in the clubs in Tokyo
Are dressed up but have nowhere to go.
The exchange of the dollar
Makes all tourists holler;
When girls ask, they're politely told no.
--- Arthur Pattaffy

A miser who went to Japan
Tried to save up some yen in a can.
You never can say
What you may have to pay,
When a geisha starts waving her fan.
--- Anon

Before its modern age had begun,
In Japan, land of the Rising Sun,
Not one soul could surpass
Those wee folk, who en masse
Were well know as the sawed off Shogun.
--- Loren C Fitzhugh P9803

There was a gaigin in Japan,
A stranger in a strange land.
She couldn't get laid
'Cause she just wasn't swayed
By men only as tall as her hand.

(gaigin - foreigner)
--- Leslie Melcer

While scanning through E-mail's crude dirt,
I saw Leslie's cruel verse and was hurt.
At five foot two,
What else can I do
But hope for another growth spurt.
--- Kohta Ueno

In Japan, now the voice of the voter rings,
And its message there needs no decodering,
For both women and men
Have a yen for more yen,
And have sent there PM Hashimotorings.
--- Knotweed

She answered the phone. Saints Preserve Us!
I heard her say, "Morny, tune sore-bees."
This Japanese doll
With my wakeup call.
She really meant "Morning, room service."
--- Al Willis P9802

A Nippophile tourist named Howell
Watched Japanese men disembowel
Themselves with a sword,
They couldn't afford,
And mop up the slop with a towel.
--- Armand E Singer 502

Kyoto Accord, at a guess,
Had 180 say, "Yes."
Who was it said "No,"
George Dubya, you know,
Caused everyone else some distress.
--- Tony Burrell

He need a good kick in the ass,
To help to reduce greenhouse gas.
We ain't yet choking
But you're still smoking.
Ain't seen the light yet, alas.
--- Tony Burrell

Not caring what other guys think,
He'll carry on 'til everywhere stinks.
Saying, "It don't matter,
We're all getting fatter;
My Daddy said that," and he winks.
--- Tony Burrell

One hundred eighty to one;
That's one more vote you haven't won.
You are President,
Not the sole resident,
So Georgie boy, get off your bum.
--- Tony Burrell

You use fuel up just like a gannet;
If there's a flame there, you will fan it.
Now you can play your part;
Don't let Dubya fart,
And greenhouse gas up the planet.
--- Tony Burrell

A lady from ancient Japan
Said, "I can speak with my fan.
This flick of my wrist
Says I've never been kissed,
And this flutter tells just how I can!"
--- Mary Danby - 2nd Armada

The Imperial family of Nippon
Has a policy problem to sip on;
Since 1965
No boys have arrived;
But the 'mum throne, a girl cannot sit on.

--- Dr Limerick 12-01-01

You may think this some ancient tradition,
But in fact it's a post-war addition;
Pobably just another
Of Douglas MacArthur's
Ideas so high and patrician.
--- Dr Limerick 12-01-01

Pissed off by this terrible flight,
She returned to continue the fight.
And foul-mouthed Linda,
Tossed the Jap through the winda;
There's a Nip in the air, love, tonight.
