SINGABLE LIMERICKS
ORIGINAL SONG: These verses were originally conceived to be sung to "The Limerick Song", as per YouTube HERE.
However to avoid unnecessary outsourcing, the melody has been changed to "Home on the Range", an American Western folk song written in 1872 (the best known recording is by Bing Crosby in 1933).
LIMERICK VERSE: Original poetry was composed by Giorgio Coniglio, compiled in November 2017, and blogposted on "Daily Illustrated Nonsense" HERE. Many of the poems have also been published at the OEDILF website (the Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form) by Giorgio Coniglio, 2016-2017. The OEDILF identifying number (#) and the Author's Note accompanying each poem, where relevant, are shown following the first verse.
The current musical scoring was arranged by Giorgio Coniglio in January 2018.

Nikki Haley, the first female governor of South Carolina, was appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by president Donald Trump in January 2017. By April 2018, relationships between the two had deteriorated due to Executive vacillations in policy, particularly over Russian sanctions.
The term ambassadress for a female ambassador or the wife of an ambassador is used rarely.
