Rajid and Mulqueen

There was a young man named Rajid Dutta
Who lived in the city of Calcutta 
Got a flash from a girl
Who also gave a twirl
Embarrassed he fell face down in the gutta'

A grumpy old cheesmaker called Mulqueen
Was servicing his cheese making machine 
He replaced some worn out bands
It fired up took off his hands 
Now he's in big demand at Halloween.

Do you have any connections with India? You are familiar with the surname... Dutta. In Cacutta, it's a popular surname. Enjoyed reading both the limericks!

Rajid and Mulqueen now have this much in common --- that you have enlisted them in entertaining us Soupers! East meets West! Thanks, Tom. ~ Gershon
