Eastlife

Life seems great when you are in the east,
It is warmer and more relaxing at least,
Curried heads of some fish,
And frogs on a dish,
Both combine to create quite a feast.

The Merlion

There once was a merlion so swish,
Half lion and also half fish,
He was socially a winner,
And when invited to dinner,
Would eat anything put on his dish.

Hotel BridgyC

Welcome to the self important hotel BridgyC,
Where things are not quite what you first see,
Dictators rule with such clout,
But if your face doesnt fit you are nowt,
The only course of action is to escape and get free.

In the land of unbelievableness

Who will help me with my excel macros today,
I want to evaluate markov chains if I may,
I will maybe now ask,
The ones who now have the task,
Of telling us how IT works or so they say.

The James Joyce of Toy Town

Apparantly according to the site “I Write Like” my style is James Joyce. However I analysed a few limericks which have come up as having the style of Stephen King for some and Daniel Defoe for ones about cricket. I look forward to reading some of Stephen Kings limericks and Daniel Defoes limericks… I think they may go something like this

The child was not quite alright in his head,
And he would have strange dark dreams when in bed,
As his wardrobe would rattle,
You could hear running cattle,
As they were chased by some dogs who once were dead.
~
The man woke up and exclaimed “Oh heck”,
As he was on an island after the ship wreck,
If only he had a man Friday,
Before he sailed who could say,
“Have you got your razor? Should you not check?”

Unfortunately my stephen King limerick apparantly accoriding to the site, the style of Charles Dickens, whereas the Daniel Defoe one apparantly is Stephen King like. I thought Dickens be more of this sort…

The poor downtrodden starving little orphans,
Had no friends family or fans,
Society was to blame,
It really was a shame,
That they had no mother, father uncles, or grans.
~

Apparantly this is more James Fenimoore Cooper than Dickens though, so if that was your first thought when reading it well done.

The Otter

When the sun is replaced in the sky by the moon,
And 12 hours have passed since it was noon,
It is starting to get late,
Wouldn’t it be great,
If we could just see that otter arrive soon.

Is Ed The Red Under The Bed?

Whatever the political persuasion it is good to have a strong opposition party. To celebrate the new labour party leader I decided against a painted plate and opted for limerick instead…

So its the Milliband who is known as Ed,
Who is now UK’s most senior red,
As he tries to avoid schism
Within british socialism
Lets hope that his party’s well led

Flowing Ants

These ants will steadily through tunnels go,
Hoping they dont reach their destination too slow
They would go faster but,
They find that the minimum cut,
Matches their maximum possible flow.

The Hedgehogs of Königsberg

These spikey animals seem exceedingly cheery,
As they run distances that would make you weary,
But they would think it would be nice,
Not to cross a bridge twice,
But they have not yet studied much graph theory.

The Hedgehogs of Königsberg.
The Hedgehogs of Königsberg for fun try to run over each bridge once and once only while they are out jogging.

Review of Somerset’s Cricket Season

In the twenty 20 cup Somerset came second,
And in the County Championship they also came second,
Then to great applause
They made the final at Lords
And there in the pro40 cup Somerset came second.
