Polish Limerick

There once was a dumb blonde from Warsaw She was the dumbest I ever saw. She was bound for Krakow But wound up in Moscow Holding a kielbasa in each paw. Who says a limerick has to be Irish?

Hi Robert. I'm glad you liked my limerick. It seems I am bound to use your name in my poems lately. I thought to post the limerick as it did not read well in the comments area; not proper form. I will read the 'Czech' poem you recommend. Thank you. Deb

There once was a Pole from St. Paul Who thought she had heard it all Until she read Pettit She just didn't get it He writes with such wit and such gall Love, Deb ps. I think I should post this. I'm a quarter Polish. That is my talented quarter. Ha, ha. Very good limerick. Are you Polish?

Indeed, though I had to look up kielbasa - which shows Polish limericks are a touch more sophisticated?
