The steakhouse’s owner said, “Dang us -
I’m so glad that customer rang us!
No wonder our venue’s
Deserted, the menu’s
Omitted the ‘g’ in ‘Prime Angus.’”

Though a good vegan-burger’s a joy,
I’ve heard that some restaurants employ
A ruse quite unnerving,
Instead they’ve been serving
Vegetarian, horse-flavoured soy.

Edmund, I vote for "nay." It's subtler, and it still makes you think "neigh."

So good to see another familiar face here!

Psst. Calling DGB. Surely there are some fishy limericks crying out to be adapted for this competition? That's if I can be sure I'm herring you clearly...

Frank, your 'prime Angus' made me laugh!

Frank,

It really made me laugh, too!

A sure winner, I'd say.

The chef down the road’s done a bunk;
The inspectors found pieces of skunk
And of poisonous toad
In his “Boeuf a la mode” -
The last straw was an elephant’s trunk.

Can you believe it? The NS competition usually (when it's prose, which is almost always) produces somewhere between 0 and 3 posts. This time, we're already up to page 6. There must be a moral in there somewhere.

What you reap all depends how you sow it:
Competitions - and this site can show it -
Are far more attractive
(And we are more active)
When summoning the skills of a poet.

New Statesman -- food limericks -- dealine 7 March
 

The German Minister is crass;
He must be something of an ass.
His reasoning seems rather wonkey,
Hardly worthy of a donkey.
Stubborn, too - to meet him, you’ll
Believe you're talking to a mule.
But who would ever want to meet him?
Let the hungry poor just eat him.

Thanks, Mad. I love people who agree with me.

Frank, I think you left out an "a" or "some" before "Customer" in line 2 of your Angus limerick. Oh, if this was in a college town, the proprietor should have that "G" welded to his sign. This was a favorite prank whan I was in school in the early 70s. (even when the townies were the culprits, the college guys got the blame).

Maine had a Governor (now Senator) named Angus King. Anonymous wags have painted out the "G" in his campaign signs over the years.

Re King. And was he?

Re verse. Lefties don't like it up'em. I've always said it.
