Well, I can't promise you a gift or supper, but I did hoist a glass of wine in your honour. Not sure how that makes you feel, but I was quite happy about it *hiccup*

Won't someone finish the limerick already? I see the first line -
"The Feast of Saint Magnus of Füssen... "
It just hangs like an unresolved chord...
and there's so much to work with
like Kissen and Küssen
and No, no, you mussen
I think I go bed now.

The Feast of Saint Magnus of Füssen
Was a time for huggin and küssen.
Some frauleins would show off their küttens
That the boys could touch just with their müttens.
If the frauleins only knew what they're müssen.

I hope it doesn't (re-)start a trend, either, TEd. Meanwhile, I can appreciate the effort you put into your umlauts, but your scansion sucks.

FYI - Küssen (mit umlaut) means "kiss" and Kissen means pillow, a near-resemblance exploited in some amusing American-tourist-thought-he-knew-the-language misunderstandings...
