In honor of BobHale's return from North Korea, this game's city is Hongwon. Please try to avoid the obvious.

Send PMs to me ASAP.

Hmm, do both the syllables here have the same sound for the "o"? My instinct was to read the Hong to rhyme with song and won to rhyme with done, but then I thought that they might both sound the same, give or take a G.

Here's hoping that made sense.

Since I don't speak Korean, and I couldn't find a PG for the word, any near rhyme and stress is acceptable.

Apparently this town did not inspire anyone's muse, except mine.

A father who lived in old Hongwon
Said, “I see you have quite a long prong, Xan.
But be sure when you beat it
To never mistreat it,
Or your dong won’t be long for too long, son.

OK, let's see if there are any takers for the mountain town of Boulder, Colorado.

Renamed "Limerick Game: Boulder"

I'm sorry, Proof. I've been busy with Stella visiting Chicago, and my sister and father coming back from a winter in Arizona. I would have done Hongwon, but I'll send you a Boulder tonight.

And I've been on a course but I'm back now and will get onto it later. Prod me if I forget.

I'll try to get something out before I set off across the Atlantic.

Sent one for each place, because I'm a nitwit and didn't notice it had changed till I'd already done my Hongwon one (try saying that last bit ten times quickly).

Many thanks, Kalleh. I have submitted just one.

I'll try to keep in touch with the board providing I can borrow a computer!

As a computer addict, I am sure I'll even have mine in Durban...some way, some how.
