Just for Fun

And now on a very light note... I love limericks. So I thought I would share a couple of fun ones. The first is for all those apple cider fans in the audience.

There was a young lady from Clyde,

who ate some green apples and died.

The apples fermented

inside the lamented,

and made cider inside her insides.

The second is from a wonderful little book, Biblical Limericks: Old Testament Stories Re-Versed, by D. R. Bensen. As a linguist in my former life I especially appreciate this one.

Babel

Their tower's impressive statistics

Pleased architects, boosters and mystics,

But their excess of pride

Caused the Lord to decide

It was time that they studied linguistics.

Genesis 11:1-9
