Limerick

Valentine Limerick, 1992

There once was a girl named Deenie,
Who ate eggplant and zucchini.
But this lawyer of sludge,
Promised not to fore-judge,
Her date who ate strictly fettuccine.

In exchange she requested a thrill,
Involving his writing skill:
“Please invest your time,
In a mushy rhyme.
Or, Buddy shall win over Hill” !

Him:
“So, is this the thanks I get now,
for straightening your ruffled brow?
Let’s make fondue,
And play taboo,
I’ll build you any city but Cracow.”

Her:
“Remember the serenade on guitars?
Or the time we surveyed the stars?
If you indulge me this hour,
And include a flower,
Then maybe I’ll let you recreate mars.”

Him:
“Yea, ’tis true I remain in debt,
Near insolvent since the day we met.
Let me expel your doubt,
And take you out,
For a Valentine’s Day we
will not forget!


Notes: The SimCity and SimPlanet computer games were popular in the early nineties.  So was the board game Taboo as well as the Melting Pot restaurant.
