Limerick #1

They tell me a limerick should rhyme

Mine do … at least some of the time

If it still leaves you cold

Though the rhyming is gold

Then surely that must be a crime

Limerick #2

So before you come stay let’s be clear

It’s unbearable much of the year

Texas people are rude

The ground’s covered with crude

Just don’t go ‘till you buy me a beer

Limerick #3 (bilingual)

En Français he would tell us each day

Ferme la bouche he so liked to say

If it’s fish you desire

And don’t wish to expire

Dites poisson non poison si’il vous plaît.

Limerick #4 (bilingual)

En France on dit mon petit chou

With loved ones, a nice thing to do

But don’t say those words here

To a sweetheart or dear

You might just get hit with a shoe
