A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Turkmenistan.
Quick! Find this country on a
map!
I’m sure you’ll do it in a snap—
For me, I’ll say, there is a gap
Between what I should know and do.
Is that the case, as well, for
you?
My ignorance is pure—and
true.
And so I checked for this
online—
The Caspian Sea (just looking
fine!)—
Right to the east—just draw a
line.
In 1991, it seems,
It broke from those old Soviet
dreams,
And now enjoys those Freedom
memes!
It has such vast reserves of gas—
The natural kind—the kind with
class.
(But strike a match? You're in the past!)
It is Islamic (mostly) there
Beneath the deep blue desert
air—
The other faiths are mostly
rare.
Inviting all—the Caspian Sea!
Such lovely sites, at least, are
free—
As every lovely site should be!
