    About this ebook

    This is a group of limericks based upon Cities in Texas from Abilene to Yorktown. Some are fun, others serious, and some are just plain silly. If you like limericks, you'll enjoy reading about some of the most famous cities and some obscure hamlets throughout the Lone Star State.

      Abilene

      There was a young lady of Abilene

      Whose appetite was simple obscene

      After eating a ton of jelly

      She had an enormous belly

      Now two sheets she can't get between.

      Atkins

      An establishment in the town of Atkins

      All who enter and partake leave with grins

      My stomach grew and grew

      At Texas Pride Barbeque

      I ate enough to feed two sets of twins.

      Agua Dulce

      There was a young man by the name of Hulse

      Who came from the small town of Agua Dulce

      There wasn't a lot to do

      He and a friend or two

      Decided to rob the local bank on an impulse

      Alba

      There was a young lady from Alba

      Whom the guys admired from afar

      Word got around

      Each day at sundown

      That she would sunbathe in the raw

      Aledo

      There was a young man from Aledo

      Who loved to wear a tight blue Speedo

      He dove from the high dive

      He wished he weren't alive

      He, all the girls did not desire to know.

      Alice

      There was an old spinster living in Alice

      Who lived in a fabulous six story palace

      She had so much money

      It wasn't even funny

      For she would pipe in the aurora borealis

      Alief

      There was a young lady that hailed from Alief

      Now Nancy had quite an erroneous belief

      She acted as though

      Everyone should know

      That she thought she was the commander in chief.

      Alpine

      There was an old fellow from Alpine

      Who pleaded for all not to malign

      I am sure you know

      He had lots of dough

      But insisted he lived below the poverty line.

      Altair

      There once was an old man from Altair

      A storyteller; some said he was a liar

      The time he was shot

      Getting over it he did not

      When he
