Amy wrote me a limerick. Ain’t she grand?
There once was a boy named Jason
Who wanted to be a freemason
He pledged to his brothers
Whom he wanted as lovers
Thus “brotherly love” he’s embracing!
I had to return the favor. I don’t think mine is quite as good.
There once was a girl named Amy,
Who tried to play games with me,
Smart like a rat,
She had a heart attack,
When I smashed her with a bat.
Hopefully I’ve inspired you to write something of your own. Get cracking and post your own!
There once was a boy named J
And everyone thought he was gay
But he proved to the guys
He likes young girls’ thighs
Thats why he’s in chat rooms all day
And as for this guy
He wrote the FBI
And now they will take him away
* Just kidding J – You know i love you *
I think Dom’s is the best yet.
LOL, Dom! Good one! Although I don’t think it would be the FBI taking me away…
*shakes fist at Dom* grrrr… ALWAYS having to outdo me!
I’m no good alimericks…. so I’ll just say “the cheese walks quietly in the forest” and hope it works.
But yeah, I wanted to say good luck tomorrow! Feel better quick.
I couldn’t think of a limerick myself, so I’m posting this multi-stanza physics limerick I found on the web, by Bruce Elliot (with apologies to the author–I hope I’m not infringing on his copyright or anything). I just think this is so damn clever!
A Brief History of Gravity
by Bruce Elliot
It filled Gallileo with mirth
To watch his two rocks fall to Earth.
He gladly proclaimed,
“Their rates are the same,
And quite independent of girth!”
Then Newton announced in due course
His own law of gravity’s force:
“It goes, I declare,
As the inverted square
Of the distance from object to source.”
But remarkably, Einstein’s equation
Succeeds to describe gravitation
As spacetime that’s curved,
And it’s this that will serve
As the planets’ unique motivation.
Yet the end of the story’s not written;
By a new way of thinking we’re smitten.
We twist and we turn,
Attempting to learn
The Superstring Theory of Witten!

Crap, I forgot about proper formatting for comments. It was supposed to read something like “I (insert heart symbol that screwed up the comment here) the gravitation one! (Of course, since I work in the Gravitational Wave community, I may be a tad bit biased!”
There was a young lad from Carney
Who the doctors diagnosed as smarmy
They quickly extracted
His tonsils impacted
And announced he is cured of his blarney.
If you want to put a heart in a comment… you’ll have to do it old-school script-kiddie like…
J’aime le poeme de Dom. Il est tres inspire et creatif. Aussi, il decrit Jason precisement.
