Young Bobby Tucker chats the whole day through His teacher said, “That's all you ever do. Today is geography, what you can do for me Is form a sentence using ‘Katmandu’ “I’m pretty certain you won’t have a clue But I would like an answer out of you.” “Well, Batman don’t chase mice,” Bobby said in a trice “But you can bet your life that Katmandu.”

Excellent job, Terry. You are a 'prudent student!' Don't forget (next time): "Katmandu" rhymes with 'Cat Ballou.' ~ Lee Marvin

This gag was in my head for ages before I finally got it into some kind of rhyme. Glad you enjoyed GW ;-)

It’s a weird thing, Jennifer, I was aware of the correct spelling of Kathmandu…. But I went with the ‘no H’ spelling to befit the theoretical superhero in Bobby’s answer. Which makes no sense at all because that would also suggest that his answer should have begun with a C. Crikey… now I’m conducting an in-depth analysis of my own limerick. I need to get a hobby ;-)
