Limericks

1.

A woman in liquor production
Owns a still of exquisite construction.
The alcohol boils
Through magnetic coils.
She says that it's "proof by induction."

2.

There was an old man
From Peru, whose lim'ricks all
Look'd like haiku. He

Said with a laugh "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."

3. For those who have played Portal:

There once was a buggy AI
Who decided her subject should die.
When the plot was uncovered,
The subjected discovered
That sadly the cake was a lie.

4.

Rob, an odd fellow, designs
Poems of equal-length lines
And he limericks with flair
As his forethought and care
Ensure a word count of 3 9s

5. For those who know what a Rick Roll is:

There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"
Oh, snap! You just got limerickrolled!

6.

A programmer started to cuss
Because getting to sleep was a fuss
As he lay there in bed
Looping 'round in his head
was: while(!asleep()) sheep++;

7.

if(computer.fail==true){
background.setColor(blue);
user.frown();
sys.shutdown();
user.scream("OH, **** YOU");}

Most excellent!

Not math-related, but I love the Nantucket series:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

yeah go Nantucket!
There is a major town in Ireland called Limericks, by the way.

There once was a prophet from Fife
Who predicted the end of his life.
When the moment drew near
He showed no sign of fear
As he stabbèd himself with a knife.

PS: Pronounce stabbèd as two syllables to maintain the metre.

Sorry if this one sounds a little offensive/violent.

Limericks are extremely amazing
They are, of course, highly entertaining
But if you don't like them
Then jump off the Big Ben
Because you seem very irritating.

There once was a man named Jhough
Who lived in a place called Whough.
When folks scratching their head
Asked how they were said,
He said: Simple! They both rhyme with Zhough.

By the way sorobans ones are awesome.
