'To the left of kathmandu'
To the left of kathmandu
sat a man bereft one shoe,
was one sandal shod
so he said to God
"oh Lord this just won't do,
I've holed my soul
and my begging bowl
has up n now gone missin,
and it's my mishap
that I've trod in crap,
and I've got no pot
to piss in".
Obadiah.

Oh Obi, you brought a smile to my face and a giggle to my mouth. Absolutely brilliant, I love it, straight forward, use of language and the dialect was divine. The topic as always, humorous and low, so low, I'll never be able to limbo beneath the bar you set, Pal. Ruby :)

Katmandu is an interesting backdrop. I wish that I could pop them off like you, but give it some time.
