CZECH REPUBLIC LIMERICK

A parachutist from Czech Republic
never ever did have too much luck.
He dodged a tall spire,
bounced off a high wire,
hit a wall and knocked loose some pub bricks.

AUSTRIA LIMERICK

There once was a man from Austria
prone to coffee house nausea.
“Our cafés are held dear,
but I can’t go near…”
said that lonely, skinny man of Austria.

NETHERLANDS LIMERICK

There was a sweet girl from the Netherlands
who worried the hard rains might never end.
When street became moat,
She traded bike for boat.
At canal-surfing she became a veteran.

GEORGIA LIMERICK

There was a famed Georgian vintner
who thought about wines all winter –
as he thought, he drank,
and -- let us be frank –
he became less vintner than drinker.

GERMANY LIMERICK

There was a colorblind decorator in Germany
who couldn’t tell crimson from ruby from burgundy.
Where precision rules
this was less than cool.
Customers saw red as far as the eye can see.

FINLAND LIMERICK

A hardcore Metal drummer from Finland
refused to be without his sticks in hand,
but then the poor slob
couldn’t work a doorknob,
missed gigs, & got kicked out of the band.

HUNGARY LIMERICK

There was a young man from Hungary
who always wore his blue dungarees.
In summer they fit;
in winter, not a whit.
Chimney cake made his thighs thundery.

UNITED KINGDOM LIMERICK
