Travel to Limerick
Limerick is supposedly where the limerick was invented.
Limerick for Limerick by Angela Lansbury
The limerick came from Limerick
Easy to write and read, it's quick
Where it started we can't be sure
Let's write, sing and drink some some
You'll laugh, and hic and never be sick
Of the laughs which come from Limerick.
You can learn or refresh Irish Gaelic on Duolingo and other online language courses. The Duolingo starter lesson, which is free, teaches you to say, hear and recognise, and read the words, tea, coffee, sugar, and, please.
