Middle East Query – 22 Questions
Dearest wet one,
Frogs are few and far between,
The Arabian Peninsula is where I am at,
Allow me to set the scene,
Sand spread on the flat.
Even though our climate is dry,
And oil production is what I do,
It’s true our cables often fry,
May I inquire twenty-two?

Dweller of the Desert
Salam Dweller of the Desert-
I have visited your beautiful country. I snapped the photo nearby of your lovely red sand dunes as I drove from Riyhad to Al Khobar. Mind you, I do not wander through the desert, as the dry sand irritates my lovely and moist skin. Twenty-two questions is too many to deal with in a single post, so I will batch the questions and answers into a series of posts. Links will appear in the table nearby as those posts become available.
For now, Ma’a salama (مع السلامة/Good bye)
