Singapore Limericks

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.
