Cinco de Mayo Celebration

Cinco de Mayo is a time to rejoice,
With music, dancing, and festive noise,
Mexican pride on display,
As we celebrate this day,
With food, drink, and joyous poise.

This limerick highlights the celebration of Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla.

The first two lines introduce the theme of celebration, while the third and fourth lines describe the display of Mexican pride.

The last line emphasizes the joy and merriment of the holiday.
