LIMERICK

My late husband hailed from New Paltz
Of course the man had his faults
     He drank and he swore
     He gambled, he snored
But Lord, that man sure could waltz!


LIMERICK

There was a young fellow named Lance
Zillertaller Laendler was his favorite dance
     He'd twist and he'd bend
     More than a doctor would recommend
Now he's paying for his exuberance


LIMERICK

There was a young dancer named Trish
It had long been her most fervent wish
     Not a waltz, not a hambo
     Not a čoček, not a pravo
She wanted a man who could schottisch


LIMERICK

There was a young man from the coast
Who liked line dancing the most.
     He'd boogie and he'd scoot,
     He'd holler and he'd hoot,
"I'm the best in the West" was his boast.


LIMERICK

I knew when his eyes met mine
And his hand found its place on my spine
     That our bodies would blend
     And I'd not want it to end
The embrace of the tango's divine
