And also happy first anniversary to Kevin and Davina! Mazal tov, guys!

Things are still a bit rough for my family right now, so instead of a proper blog entry, here are some pseudo-obscene limericks I’ve been compiling. Don’t worry, they’re PG and quite educational. Are you ready?

…

Pshhh, you’re so totally ready:

There once was a young man from Venus
Who had an unusual genus.
His brow, it was low,
His IQ so-so,
And his parents Australopithecinus.

There once was a girl, surnamed Bach,
Who could not get enough of the rock:
She said, “Elementary!
This one’s sedimentary!”
Whilst collecting a sample of chalk.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who, upon buying a new hound-dog, struck it.
“According to Skinner,
Conditioning’s a winner,”
He explained. “Why would I want to buck it?”

There once was a woman, quite blunt,
Whom colleagues described as a grunt.
She found points on waves
That had the same phase
And cried, “I shall call it a ‘front’!”

There now is a lass from Spadina
Who’s worried about her angina.
She knows it’s Prinzmetal’s
As it’s there when she settles,
And her atherosclerosis is minor.

A young lady, quite lovely and rich,
Was known to be rather a snitch.
Attending concerts,
She’d cry “400 Hertz?
That’s forty below standard pitch!”

There was a young doctor called Nick
Who was unnaturally proud of his tic.
He said in defiance,
“I prefer neuroscience
Just like my idol, Francis Crick.”
