I try to schedule things,
but here people skedule things.
I tried to switch on the light
but instead it went off.
I went to eat a burger at Burger King,
but they asked me 'forere or togo'.
I wanted to throw the empty coke can on the road,
but the neat roads prevented me.
I was late
by one minute to the bus stop,
but the bus had left on time.
I try to keep left while driving,
but here people keep right.
I wanted to drive at a brisk 40km/hr,
but the cop gave me a ticket for slow driving!
I walk around the city to meet some people,
but all I encounter are cars and jeeps.
I wanted to see cricket on TV,
but the closest I got was baseball.
I watched world cup football last month;
but everyone else watched world cup soccer.
I wanted to take an AIWA back home,
but they say it takes only 110V.
I wanted to get a yankee girlfriend,
but they don't even look at you.
I didn't expect to see any desis here,
but all I see are desis.
So when is the next flight back home???
