Notes About The Poem

Limerick Crochetes: Once Angela Signed Pact With Doctor Jeckel

Limerick crochetés: Once Angela signed pact with Doctor Jeckel

Once Angela signed pact with Doctor Jeckel
Needed urgent help her kitchen all pell-mell
	In far-off torn country
	People turned refugee
By turnip-head Mephistopheles in Hell

Angela’s wise friend Faust told her to toll bell
To tell the world how much her heart bled with knell
	She’ll take in all who flee
	Bitten by bee or flea
Life-jackets galore Mephisto jumped to sell

In Mid-Land-Sea punctured floats jackets did spell
Drowned refugee yells worse than arrows Will’ Tell
	Angie slurped sea-green tea
	With Jeckel invitee
While survivors charged through blockades raising Hell

If Angela dug an underground Chunnel
From her kitchen to Mephisto-lands un-well
	Käse-Kuchen* Mummy
	Made by hands refugee
To boost her economy – Angela! Hail!

*Käse-Kuchen: German for cheese cake
