Chef Billy was nasty and rude He’d swear when trainees ruined food With a loaf of stale bread He’d whack them on the head His language was terribly crude One trainee used sugar not salt The packets had split - not his fault He’s beaten then battered His poor nose was shattered Chef Billy got sacked for assault! Originally written for Limerick Contest, then I changed my mind and posted a different one 1/4/19

I'm working on another one for the contest lol... you know me I can write one in just a couple of minutes. I woke with the second stanza of the next one in my head and had to rush to jot it down, just got 2 lines of the first part to finish but have been so busy all day I just have time to do it before we are out again.

Well done, Jan! Change, "Billy" to any french name and the meat cleaver to a Baguette and you describe an everyday scene in France! Bonne chance! Aloha! Rico
