What Whine Goes Good With Down In The Mouth?

Dear, dear, my good savant friend needs some git in his git-along ( or would that be wit in his git- along?)

Anyway, LS is suffering from the (big booming voice, comes in here) SUMMER DOLDRUMS. Ain't it da twooth. It's hotter than ten cats on a tin roof 'round these parts.

In his comments box, I left a suggestion - a contest, we need a contest! And, I submitted my own subject preference (see I do have preferences, 2blowhards!):

TEXAS

Or, heck pick your own. Wanna play?

To get the ball rolling quick, and to give me time for my brain to roll those poetic gears, I submit these limericks about Texas. I cannot claim authorship, nor do I really know whom to salute. I found them at this website. Thanks, Don!

Huntsville is home to the prison
Whose practice creates a great schism.
There are some who ask why
Do these folks have to die?
And others who say it’s good ridum**

Our Governor’s name is Rick Perry.
His head and his chest are all hairy.
Some women will swoon
And many will croon,
“With him I’d love to make merry.”

There was a young lad from Dime Box
Who caught a horrible pox
When asked where he got it
He said that he bought it.
But allowed she was really a fox.

In southwest Texas is El Paso
Where cowboys all carry a lasso.
Some carry a gun
And it’s not just for fun--
They keep it all shiny with Brasso

Houston’s the 4th largest city
And its people are plum without pity
For Dallas that’s smaller
But has a statute that’s taller*
And cops that aren’t quite as gritty.

The Cowboys are America’s team.
To play there fulfills a dream.
The cheerleaders are fine
But when they drink lots of wine
Their outfits pull loose at the seam.

Rastus enjoyed going to Dallas
To court a young lass named Alice
She was skinny and tall
Not pretty at all
But a good place to put in his time.

Here’s to the great city, Fort Worth.
It’s filled with hilarity and mirth.
It has sports teams galore
That will run up the score
And restaurants that run up your girth.

Shoot, I will just have to top that last one. Cowtown surely can be versed much better. And we don't have that many sports teams. Someone confused us with those eastern cities - Arlington and Dallas. Drat, now I'm gonna hafta wash my mouth out with soap... *grin*.
