A Variety Pack of Limericks
For my friend Cowboy Ron Williams, a poet,
you've written fine poems; PH does show it.
Some are quite funny,
some help make days sunny.
My thanks to you, .....I NOW bestow it.

Hobby Horse **
Ron's SAID he was a cowboy but I doubt it.
But IF NOT true (you may ask) , did Ron 'spout' it? ***
I don't mean to be snobby,
but was his 'horse' called 'hobby'?
Ron, if I'm wrong, FEEL FREE to.....SHOUT IT! !
NOTE:
** 'By the mid 1500s, hobby horse was being used to refer to a horse costume worn by a person participating in a morris dance or other performance, and then to a toy consisting of a stick with a toy horse's head at one end that a child pretends to ride.'
*** (one definition) : spout it: 'to speak a lot, in a way that is boring or annoying for other people'

Rumor or Tumor?
It's been suggested that Ron did die.
Can 'that he died' be proven? I'll not try.
Do I believe it? I don't.
Either way, his POEMS won't.
If he did, more poems may come...from 'on high'. **
**on high
phrase of high
'in or to heaven or a high place'

Ron Williams [ Family Man? ]
He wrote for his descendants to read.
If Bri did, I doubt they'd 'take heed' **.
Is Ron a 'Family Man'?
I avoid mine when I can.
On one of my poems my 'Sis' peed!
** take heed: 'Take heed' is an idiom that means to pay attention to something or someone, or to consider what they say carefully.'

Valsa George
Shall I next write for my friend Valsa George?
From PoemHunter she's herself 'disgorged' **.
I still 'love' you. I do! !
I'm like a foot with NO shoe,
but with Kim, Ruth, and Bharati I've still forged.
** Some synonyms for disgorge:
pour out
discharge
eject
emit
expel
evacuate
empty
spit out
spew out
belch forth
spout
vomit
regurgitate
throw up
regorge

I would like to translate this poem
Thanks for this collection, Bri. I left several comments when it was first posted, but for some reason they never did show up. Poem Hunter seems to be messed up again.
