Plaza Pranks:

Lima's plaza, so bright and bold,
I took a stroll, stories told.
But then I tripped on cobblestones,
And landed flat, oh my bones!

From plaza's charm to city's cheer,
Lima's laughter's always near.

Ceviche Capers:

Lima's ceviche, so rich and sweet,
I took a bite, what a treat.
But then I spilled it on my shirt,
And laughed so hard, it didn't hurt.
The chefs just smiled and gave me more,
In Lima, joy's at the core.
