Chef Harris

There once lived a local chef named Harris
Claimed he trained at a school in Paris
            That he makes fine dishes
              Harris had grand wishes
He couldn't boil water; married an heiress

Great Limerick ! Though he doesn't know how to cook, he knows how to hook... that too a heiress! Really enjoyed, Alexis

Ha, ha, ha, ha! Jokes on Harris and the heiress. (Very clever rhyme there, Alexis!) He's not chef, and does he think an heiress ever lifted a finger in the kitchen? Looks like they'll be eating micro-wave meals for a while... :) gw

Somehow he impressed her. He knows the way to woman's heart.

Lol! It said on the sign Kordon Blue. It sounds like the famous one. However, did you notice the spelling? That ain't the one. Not sure if works for the latest limerick contest but I had fun writing it. I appreciate that you stopped by-Alexis
