Limericks in French (or ...)

[h***@gmail.com]

I can't find a better place (group), so i'll ask here.


Un marchand de vin est allé en Champagne.
Il a visité des caves à la campagne.
Il a acheté douze bouteilles
De Magnum. Il est rentré
En TGV confortable en Grande-Bretagne.


--- i understand the meaning.
but i don't see what's funny about it.
(it must be good, but how?)


pls tell me (give me) a really good Limerick in French
(or Spanish or German ... )

_______________________________

(mid-1800s?) George du Manner wrote many Limericks in French under the name of ”Vers Nonsensiques.”


II existe une espinstere a Tours
Un peu vite, et qui portait toujours
Un ulster peau-de-phoque,
Un chapeau bilicoque
Et des nicrebocquers en velours.


Is the only funny part... phoque and coque ?

[Un peu vite] means:
fidgety,
antsy · nervous · keyed up · anxious ·
jittery · twitchy ... ?

Peut-être sur fr.rec.humour ou bien fr.lettres.langue.francaise ?

I asked in fr.rec.humour
-- the less busy one


"pauvres vaches, il y en a beaucoup"
apparently is perfect French
meaning [ Poor cows, there are many of them.]
