The name "Limbo" conjures up an intriguing mixture of Caribbean dancing and Dante's Inferno. In another posting here, part of the Inferno sequence, Dante provides us with on-site reporting which seems to eliminate it from serious consideration as a longterm retirement home. Perhaps it is more realistic to consider it an untapped tourist destination.

Rick Steves help vacation-plan
Limbo-folks are tourist-shy
Complicated reasons why.
Limbo-visa hard to get -
Seems that none been printed yet
I.T. system's way behind
Limbo-stuck in Dante's time.
What to pack for Limbo-trip?
Don't need sunscreen - get a grip!
Sticky days, we're not to blame.
Limbo-neighbors turn up steam
Get so burned they moan and scream
Don't advise excursion there
If no Hazmat suit to wear.
Limbo-talk in Limbo-land
Locals hard to understand
Few speak Eng., they all speak It.,
Antique Limbo-dialect.
Walk feet flat with weight on heels
Limbo-nights - no moon or stars
Lean back in or under bars.
Got good staff at Limbo-Inns
They commit no Limbo-sins
New construction in bare feet
Projects never get complete.
Might not find a hotel room
Now or when you're in your tomb;
Limbo-book with kids and wife
For the Limbo-afterlife.
