A Chinese Limerick

A gambler from Hong Kong named Louie. He was dumb and quite a bit screwy. In a gambling pad, he lost all he had. Today, he can’t afford chop suey. Who says a limerick has to be Irish?

Perhaps Lu Ey, but Louie? You're cracking me up, Robert. I haven't even eaten all day and I just had to read this limerick before getting dinner. You're on a role, my friend. Now how about writing a limerick for me - I'm Polish, English, German, Swedish and Swiss. Mission Impossible. Will he take the bait? She waits... Love, Carolyn
