Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 157

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

Slovenia.

A Central European site
Along the Adriatic Sea,
Slovenia has got some height,
With lots of alpine scenery.

It gained its freedom—’91—
And is an active seismic zone.
But earthquakes are so rarely fun
I’ll prob’ly leave the place alone.

The animal diversity
Is rich—oh, lots of critters there,
Like ibex, boar, and deer (oh me!)—
Of course, they’ve got a hairy hare.

And Yugoslavia had been
The ruler of this fabled land.
But now is now, and when was when,
So let’s strike up the Freedom Band!
