Evidence Of Too Many Late Nights

Happy π Day, dudes!

 

You know how everyone always gets to a certain point in their research projects where they start threatening to do their paper in haiku form?* I reached that state last night, and somehow progressed to the idea of summarizing events in my life with limericks.

 

I have decided that it is a very good way to sum up snapshots from one’s life.  And it’s a fun little exercise to get things into the little format.  Go ahead, try it!

 

And, of course, I’ve got a few of my own.  So enjoy a new thing that may feature on this blog a lot—Autobiographical Limericks: 

My 15^th Birthday

 

The head of a cycloptic sheep

Does not of itself make you deep.

This lecture’s on plants,

Not abstinence rants

So stick to the subject, you creep.

A Constant Struggle

 

The thing about daytime and night

Is I never could get them quite right

I’m up with the moon

And sleeping at noon

And hiss when I’m exposed to light

 

Why I Am High-Strung

 

I once flew head over heels

From a car that went hood over wheels

No bones did I break,

But a scar it did make

And that took a while to heal.

 

In Memoriam

 

There once was a rascally rabbit

Who had quite a bad eating habit

She ate a whole sandal—

The gluttonous vandal!—

Before anybody could grab it.

 

 
See?  Fun, huh?  But I don't want to be the only person who does this. I hereby give you all permission to do the same thing in your own blog, or in the comments here. Tell me stories of your life in rhyme. And enjoy.

 

*Or maybe that’s just me.  I get myself confused with everyone sometimes.

I'll have to think on this. I like the idea. :D

There once was a mathnerd
Whose sense of humor was absurd
She embraced puns
Rejected guns
And killed herself with a word.

Not exactly normal limerick material, but hey, my brain is all black humour right now.

That's quite a rabbit.

No, you're not the only person who does this, but it's one of the many things that makes you cool.

I express myself
Best in flowery haikus
They don't have to rhyme
