Excellent Murphy by name Murphy by nature. What*s a girl to do? Rich and Thick by Terry Reilly Limerick Challenge writing prompt entry

A fussy young colleen from Limerick,   found Murphy's dark stout made her feel sick.   Her suitor, from Cork,   although flush, was a dork,   like Murphy's black brew - rich but thick.   Writing Prompt What better way to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day than by writing a limerick! Write a 5-line poem with the classic AABBA rhyme scheme. Happy Saint Patricks Day! Author Notes colleen = Irish word for girl or young woman. flush = slang for having loads of money. dork = slang for a stupid person. Two stouts brewed in Ireland have quite a rivalry. Guiness (brewed in Dublin) connoisseurs look down their noses at Murphy*s (brewed in Cork), viewing it as unsophisticated, rough, from the country. Thick and crude, if you will.
