When referring to Dhaka
Which is in Bangladesh the Capital
City and also I'm told
It is one that is really old
And also one not known to be small!
In fact it is extremely densely
Populated and intensely
Filled with thousands of rickshaws on cycles
Hundreds of thousands so I've learned
Giving it the name it's earned
The capital of earth's rickshaw bicycles!
Located by a river where
All the people living there
Know it by the old name Buriganga
Which is where, Ive also read,
A place that is more than said
To lie in the heart of the Bengal Delta!
And a lot of women there
Are the sort who like to wear
A saree or the salwar kameez
Unlike the men who much prefer
The kind of clothes now popular
Like the familiar t-shirt worn with jeans!
Something else Dhaka has got
Are mosques for there are quite a lot
Earning it quite a measure of fame
Around the world for being a town
Where such a building can be found
And bears City of Mosques as a nick name
