Happy New Year Kathmandu!
(I'm an hour late with this one, they always confuse me)

There's a little yellow idol to the North of Kathmandu
In a temple, where the fittings are so fine.
And tho' the temple clock shows clearly "quarter to".
My Blackb'ry insists it's really Nine.

My Blackberry is marvellous, it keeps exquisite time,
There's a button to advance it, hour by hour.
Yet It cannot cope with Nepal, it aught to be a crime.
A fifteen minute shift's not in its power.

I think I'll take two Blackberrys ev'rywhere I go
For shorter trips, or even for long-haul
One off-set thirty minutes should work just fine, although
I'll still avoid a visit to Nepal.
