Limerickaholic
A limerick writ for informing,
or tall academia storming,
must carry a flare
with which none compare.
(stage set) So let’s now start performing!
The first thing we’ll capture is letters –
an alphabet wrought by our betters –
to mix into words
for tiny thought-turds
(without them we’d all be the debtors).
There’s (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) for starters
and (f), (g) - that last starting garters,
then (h), (i), (j), (k),
plus (l), (m), (n) - hey!
(o), (p), (q), (r), (s), (t) - for tartars.
Then (u), (v) - that sunlight protection,
and (w), (x), (y) inspection.
Crown lot with a ‘z’
and clearly you see
why they hold our heart’s predilection.
The numbers I’m bashful confessing
are not worth the trouble for messing
around with, the sounds
for limericked rounds?
For those I will just keep you guessing.
I’m sensing a most dreadful error
that holds repercussions of terror.
Well, maybe not quite
that bad, but it bites
that none of this leaves you much fairer
off. It’s nonsensical folly!
I do hope you found the rhymes jolly.
I must here confess
that would be success,
and well worth a chuckle, by golly.
Philosophy Lesson #52- Brain In A Vat
What if you were a brain in a vat
Can you even imagine that?
You would think and you'd feel
That your dream world was real
While so grey and alone there you sat
You might think that you had legs and arms
And you might think that you could run far
But it'd be an illusion
Just meant to confuse you
Cause you'd still be stuck in your jar
And although you might not have a heart
As a brain you would be pretty smart
Except you'd never find
That your world was a lie
Now I'm starting to sound like Descartes
Yes if you were a brain in a vat
You would be very slimy and fat
You'd sit still every day
And right there you would stay
Aren't you glad you're no brain in a vat.........
