Shorty and the sights of Nepal

Two weeks ago I went to Nepal
But I didn't see all of its mystical sprawl
For most of Nepal was behind a wall
And diminutive stature was my downfall

So I made up a story to cover the lack
Of photos of temples and minaret stacks
Alas, my friends were taken aback
And made a complaint to the head of Kodak

Ten packs of film was their gift of a sort
And off to Nepal without time to abort
I'm back at the wall and regret to report
Lo and behold, I am still too short

Hmm...perhaps poetry isn't Ecks' thing. Many thanks to Mark, who must be a poetry engineer (as he fixed my metre).
