Many of us know about these excruciations on "That's amore"...
Somehow this one fell into my ummmm mind as I was shopping yesterday (no apologies for some relaxation of the algorithmical constraints):
When a third of your herd
Hits the dust all at once [well, all at oncet]
That's a murrain
I sent that to my friend Ken, who was able to retrieve (from his email archive) a set constructed a few years ago:
When your chicken is tossed
in a chocolate sauce
that's a mole
At the bris there's the trick
when the guy trims your dick
that's a mohel
Take 2 cups Bechamel
add some cheese you can't smell
that's Sauce Mornay
(and this one is only locally comprehensible, being about the river that flows by Lexington VA):
Float from Goshen to James
with Confederate Dames
that's the Maury
a refinement to the Maury one:
It has Matthew Fontaine's
name from Goshen to James
that's the Maury
(Matthew Fontaine Maury --19th century Father of Naval Oceanography)
another culinary one:
A chestnut glacée
if you say en Français
that's a marron
and for the ornithologist:
Auk! it's no puffin I know
Can't pronounce 'guillemot'
it's a murre
and today Ken contributes:
When a native you see
On the coast of New Z
