...and a few more
A few more limericks for the OEDILF:
Aald Aaron the aardvark was achin'
For Aaliyah his wife to aawaken.
He aahem'd as she baasked,
Then aartfully aasked,
Why aaren't we aarth pigs makin' bacon?"
This one was my attempt to squeeze as many ad- words as possible into one limerick:
An addicted adulterous dad
Adopted an admirable lad.
His adjunct adduced,
"each adult dad seduced
Had adored his adoptive dad ad."
Plug in socket's an AC supply
While for DC, then batteries apply.
If your high voltage needs
(For your dirtiest deeds)
are from AC and DC, you're bi.
Her teacher one night after class
Slipped an additive into her glass.
The spike in her drink
Perhaps leads us to think
That his mind's only track was "harass".
Acciaccatura is pronounced ac·CIAC·ca·tu·ra (with the attack on the CHACK).
Each acciaccatura sounds just before
Its principal note in the score.
Played lightly with pace
They ornament with grace,
Too slow, they're a dissonant bore.
Time for a chemistry lesson:
Most actinoids tend to decay
Through radioactivity. They
Are a group most unstable
At the base of the table.
Take notes; Tom will quiz us today.
There's U and Pu and Np,
And there's Th, No and Md...
Actinides, actinoids,
They're just different woids
For the group that begins with Ac.
(If you haven't heard Tom Lehrer's The Elements then your education is lacking.)
If you study acology you're
A student of remedies, for sure.
If you sang in the '80s
About killing Kuwaitis,
You must have discovered "The Cure".
To accumulate means to collect
or to grow over time. I'd expect
I could claim that we nerds
all accumulate words,
and nobody here would object.
The ontologist mused, "this abstractum
Is the thought of a thing, known post factum."
So he abstracted girls
Wearing nothing but pearls
With his idealized self to distract 'em.
