There once was a foreigner from Peru
Who had fervent fervor for stew.
He lived in a forest
With his wife - the town florist
Who's finale was frailty induced.
Hmmmmm, not overy happy with this one! But gosh, it's not easy with those words!

Here's what I came up with on such short notice, hope it helps!
I once knew a fragile florist from Belize,
Who's dog had a fervor for fleas.
Finally with soap from a foreign company,
Scrubbing from his head to his knees,
The frailty of the fleas became their finale!
Not sure if it is a proper limerick, since I am more into poetry, but maybe you can amend it to work for you. Good luck.

I'm only gonna offer to # 1.
Do you have to use Fervent, AND fervor?
I'd drop Foreigner. That Assumes. Insert another word, generic to a Human.
I'd substitute fervor for fervent, IE: "Who had??? a Fervor for Stew."
Webster classifies Fervor as synonymous with Intensity.
Just my two cents.

There once was a foreigner from Peru
With quite a fervor for beef stew
He threw in some hay,
And a fragile bouquet,
And as a finale, ragu.
(And that is the best I can do)

There once was a foreigner from Bali
Who fervently ate Salvador Dali
The red meat made her agile
But unusually fragile
And smell none too floral for a finale
Sorry, thats dreadful - but then its a horrible list of words

Hard to use them all, and some are a bit redundant, but this used 6:
A fragile young florist, yes a foreigner,
Cut blooms for his wife but was borin' her.
His finale, with fervor:
He said, "Lord preserve her,
But I'm finally off to the coroner."

There once was a foreign emu
With a fervour for anything new
She got a floral hairstyle
Which broke her neck so fragile.
The finale of the foreign emu.
