SINGAPORE LIMERICKS 1. The daughter There once was a crusty old hawker who married his neighbour’s fat daughter She thought she’d be rich But she did not know which Was the reason behind why he’d sought her. 2. The laksa man You’d have heard of the hawker named Tan Who fried all his food in a pan His clients set trends And told all their friends Now the queues almost stretch to Japan. 3. The Obese eater Now here is an interesting stat, If you stop by that stall for a chat You’ll meet some police Who are really obese For the stall’s name is Soon Too Fatt. 4. Fasting: not There once was a man so bullheaded His eating hours always extended He’d go to the stalls But not in the malls, And eat till his chest was distended. 5. Pizza A cook who was trying to please Cooked some pizza with far too much cheese, He collapsed from the strain, Said his doctor, "It's plain You are killing yourself with the grease!" 6. The Bedok Disaster A careless old cook from Bedok One day had a terrible shock, He turned on the stove, In his hawker’s alcove, And exploded with all of his stock 7. Who? I know an old man we’ll call Choo, As he cooked he would call out “Hoo Hoo," As the people walked by They all wondered why, But none of them had any clue. 8. The rescue A hawker got stuck in his stall Because he was terribly tall. People asked what was what With his head in a pot But all he could do was to bawl.
