“Himalaya” means “snowy abode,”
And an apter name ne'er was bestowed.
Case in point: you won't see
Folks pour cream in their tea
'Cause it comes from the cows a lá mode.


Note: For the following rhyme you must use the Sanskrit pronunciation of “Himalaya” – with the stress on the second syllable.

The majestic, Himalayan Yeti
Up and moved to the parched Serengeti
To enjoy the dry heat
On his infamous feet
But came back 'cause they got far too sweaty.

Based on the suggestion: "Himalaya"

Sometimes the rhymes don't come together.  I wanted to write one with the first lines "A skeptic once hunted a Yeti/In the grass of the vast Serengeti" and then follow with something like "because if it's a mythical beast you might as well conduct your futile search for it somewhere that you won't lose your nose to frostbite."  I think I could find a way to squeeze that idea into three lines, but I just couldn't find an appropriate final rhyme for "-eti."  Suggestions?
