Middle Eastern capitals

 

 

	In BAKU in AZERBAIJAN There lives a very fat man, No-one gets skinny On caviar and blinis And he eats as much as he can!
	You should visit in central IRAN The ancient city of Isfahan, Buy a great carpet In its old market Then back to the capital, TEHRAN.
	There was a young girl from BAGHDAD Who frequently felt very sad Its just not a lark To live in IRAQ ‘Cos Saddam Hussein is quite mad.
	A teenage boy from BISHKEK Once sighed to himself “What the heck! It’s no fun Being young And KYRGYZSTAN is a pain in the neck!”
	An old woman who lived in KUWAIT Thought KUWAIT CITY was great The rest of the land Is sand and more sand Camels like it, she said, but I hate!
	In OMAN, a boy's pet rat Was chased for hours by a cat, Into the desert It didn't get hurt But it never returned to MUSCAT.
	In RIYADH the palm tree's a treasure Beneath which men sit at their leisure. Eating dates with their mates Off the trees, not from plates, Is a SAUDI ARABIAN pleasure.
	On a dusty highway to DAMASCUS St Paul once stopped us and asked us Which way he should go But we didn't know Which in SYRIA's really disasterous
	That oil-rich state TURKMENISTAN Sits physically beside Iran. And ASHKABAD Is just a tad Westward of Afghanistan.
