Some Light-hearted Banter: A Limerick

In a town full of legends and lore
Lives a creature like never before
A rare species to find
It’s one of a kind
Polished, and oh so much more

Its reputation precedes this odd soul
Whispers that make up a whole
But of all that is known
Nothing beats what’s home grown
Such virtues are but to extol

A young lady one day she did go
Exploring out by the shore
But returned quite aghast
For then, there at last
The creature did come to the fore

The creature ‘t was but a bloke
“Suave and gentle,” she said, “I don’t joke”
“He reached for my hand
To steady my stand
I'm certain I'm having a stroke!”

Now legend will soon set sail
For words are strung into a tale
The rare creature emerged
All stereotypes purged
Meet the chivalrous Indian male
