Texas

Young Texians felt a great need
from Mexico’s rule to be freed
Sant’Anna caught napping
as Houston was trapping
Republic of Texas decreed

I like how you focused on an important aspect of the state and not just using the name of your state as an incidental . very nice.

Thank you, Alexis, I suspect if he is looking for a humorous limerick I will get an N/A, history bores a lot of people. John

Great Limerick John and straight away I could see John Wayne in the Alamo. Good luck. Tom

Thanks, Tom, I appreciate it. I remember seeing that movie as a teenager. I have visited the Alamo a number of times in my life and I still get goosebumps whenever I'm there, as if I can feel the presence of the fallen heroes' spirits. John
