First:

Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda agree,
That on the same side they shall never be.

K-Oh my hair, what a mess.
H&K-Let's take it out on the people of Dhaka, B.D.

Second:

There was a mali from Noakhali.
He had an eye for his sweet Sali.
When seen by his wife,
He ran for his life.
He's now hiding in Mohakhali.

And honorable mention (simply for joining from way over there) goes to:

There was a husband gay and gentle
The tiptop man always wore a mantle
His wife looked like an owl
Always pursued him with a howl
Ready to run he never wore sandal!
