A smoker inhaled hydrogen for floatation
Ignored the need of safety regulation
Went only so high till peaking
After his lighter-than-air got leaking
'Cause emphysema gets terrible inflation
.
He used hydrogen instead of helium
To escape the boredom of maddening tedium
And smoked behind a balloon
That was Chinese, and soon
Was shot down to Earth, indeedium
.
He exploded on a storage depot
Of flammable fossil fuel, and so,
He was smoking again
Like fries Julienne
And hydrogenated until incognito

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

"Like fries Julienne" ah!
Ah, the human Hindenburg! So it was the second-hand smoke that got him, sort of. Limericks are one of my favorite things and these are excellent.
I learned a new word today, indeedium! Also, this was soooo hilarious!
Although smoking can be fatal, your limericks lighten the serious subject.
You have conveyed an important message in a lighthearted manner.
Indeedium is my new favourite word. Like a Latin-speaking Flanders, I will use it today.
Fun and entertaining Limericks!!! Loved it!!!
