Mind Boggling Limerick 1

I once met a Vietnamese girl
Whose weak English put head in a whirl...
Said, “Though love you I can,
Belong Chocolate Man,”
And I knew that I’d found a rare pearl.

Poet's Note:
I don't think I've ever seen a limerick more dense, more true, or more beautiful than what you have just read. If you are not smitten right away, give it some time, perhaps read it again tomorrow!
