Lockland is a small, fairly poor village within the greater Cincinnati area. It sits next to one of the suburbs where C-suite executives and such live in big, beautifully renovated old houses. The response to their new neighbours will be interesting…

#8 "Mauretania, land of, um, Moors
And Korans and the, uh, great outdoors!
Craving slaves, some unmanned,
Or a hot hennaed hand?
Endless stretches of sand
Where your wardrobe is banned?"

#9 Interesting you should mention slaves. IIRC Mauritania was one of the last countries to abolish slavery, and word was that it was still going on just a few decades ago--maybe still is.
