There once was a man from Nantucket....

Well, fall break is finally upon us! A whole 4 days of freedom (technically 2, since half of them are the weekend anyways)! Well anyway, I will have much time to think this weekend since I shall be avoiding work as best as I can (well, until it's inevitable for me to revise that paper, write that other paper, and write that yet other paper). But yeh, so by think I guess I mean that I will have some time to write haikus and songs and such, which brings me to my main point. Today, I was asked (by myself, but nonetheless), "why don't you write limericks?" It's a very good question (I sure am smart), considering that limericks are almost always comedic and seem perfect for me to write (I did actually go through a limerick writing phase, believe it or not). Now, I could say something along the lines of "well, limericks are too long and are in themselves enough to stand alone, and therefore could not be accompanied by a good post" and this would be an adequate (who on Earth thought of spelling that word like that? Took me 4 tries to get it right) answer. However, it would be a lie. I shall relay the proper answer in haiku form:

Limericks can be
Fantastic, but require much
More work than haikus


Well that's the reason in a nutshell. I am lazy, and alas, far too lazy to write limericks. That being said however, I will now spontaneously write a limerick to continue my trend of contradicting myself. I will give it to you uncensored, and draft it as I write this post.

There once was a boy from Cornell
And in Clara Dickson he dwelt
He had a single
Which let him mingle
With all of Cornell's pretty belles


First let me clarify, that boy is not me. And second, that did not turn out quite like I had intended at all. I had meant to make it something ridiculous and then have crossed out words which would turn it into something less ridiculous. It ended up being witty enough in the end, and I'm too lazy to dish out more. Sheesh, soooo demanding. I gave you your limerick, damnit! Leave me be!
