Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 179

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.


Tunisia.

A country with a name that sounds
A little like a pun:
“Two knees ya” have?—yep, that is it
(Such simple-minded fun!).

North Africa, of course, is where
This country long has stood—
And Tunis is the capital—
You knew that (or you should!).

And Arabs are (by far!) the ones
Who live there now, of course.
Islam is the religion—and
Is really quite a force.

The “service sector” is right now
The largest source of … bread.
Though agriculture—also strong—
Or so it has been said.

It’s got an orycx—such long horns!
A Fennec fox is there.
And whales are flopping in the sea
Go swimming if you dare!
