Another Series of Alphabetical Limericks, #7, "G is for Genesis"

Before there was Knowledge or Sinning,
There wasn't a weed in
The Garden if Eden,
And you couldn't play games without winning.

Another Series of Alphabetical Limericks, #6, "F is for Facebook"

And hope they'll be read by our "friends".
And amazing to say,
It's on this simple play
That the Zuckerberg fortune depends.

Another Series of Alphabetical Limericks, #5 "E is for Easter Egg"

Is to save on the cost of the dye.

In a dense deconstruction of Herrick,
Defines the attraction
Of silk liquefaction
As dangerous, dark and barbaric.

And composed a new work, a
Charming mazurka,
As played by a Polish town band.

Ill-favor'd, ill-omen'd, ill-starr'd -
While fresh from a bar, Lo!

Lurch roaringly drunk through his yard!

Another Series of Alphabetical Limericks, #1 "A is for Academical"

An arcane alphabetical list
Was arranged to provide an assist
To tenure-bound critics
Who write analytics
In a deep academical mist.

Alphabetical Limericks #26 "Z is for Zebra... and Zen"

A zebra was sleepless at night
With a Zen existentialist plight.
Were the stripes on his back
Colored white over black?
Or reversed, i.e., black over white?
