Happy Limerick Day!

You guessed it. It's another made-up-holiday-day. This one is supposed to be a celebration of the writer Edward Lear. Here are a couple of limericks that I found around.

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Last night I stayed up quite late
To watch the entire Debate
There was no war of words
They behaved like two nerds
Who were out on an awkward first date

Your units are wrong! cried the teacher.
Your church weighs six joules — what a feature!
And the people inside
Are four hours wide,
And eight gauss away from the preacher!
