room in the right one."



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++;



See that lighthouse beam in the sky

That guides yonder ships going by?

My friend shines that beam;

She's living her dream.

I'm in grad school. I still don't know why.



A Brief History of Gravity



It filled Gallileo with mirth

To watch his two stones fall to Earth

"Their rates are the same,"

He gladly proclaimed,

"And quite independent of girth!"



Then Newton declared 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."



Next Einstein revealed his equation

Which succeeds to describe gravitation

As spacetime that's curved

And it's this that will serve

As the planets' unique motivation.



But the end of the story's not written,

By a newa hill

And was speechless for hours

Over some stupid flowers

This was years before TV, but still.



There once was a man from Japan

whose limericks just wouldn't scan.

When asked why this was,

he answered, "Because

I always cram as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."



There once was a man from deep space

And all you could see was his face

It seemed that his gig

Was to make you move zig

Or else he would take all your base



There once was a maid from Madras

Who had a magnificent ass.

Not rounded and pink,

as you'd possibly think;

It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass.



This database comes with a curse:

I just wasted an hour or worse

On LimerickDB,

Now all that I see

I read as if written in verse.
