it was a movie too
the banana story certainly is a
theoretical evolutional heresy
with certain appeal
to claims it is real
but it's all just a big fallacy

Re: it was a movie too
Bananas have appeal
And they make a decent meal,
But an argument agin
Evolution doesn't win
If the data isn't real.

to an anti-darwinian
There once was a professor, now fey.
He'd say, "Bring your arguments my way!
Dawkins is a laughingstock.
”bout my theory I won't talk."
"How do you like them apples?" He'd say.

Re: For them as doesn't know it...
In America, when you say been,
We all knows it rhymes with Ben;
Not with in-between.
A true Brit it'd seem,
Would also more likely say lend.

Been is ben?
If been is ben, then is teen ten?
With teen as ten, then is mean men?
Does this young Yank
deserve a spank
Or is he on English keen, but it beyond his ken?

Re: Been is ben?
If you're on this side of the Atlantic,
As a Brit you'd likely get frantic.
There's no U after O;
M-E too must go,
And our spelling sure ain't systematic
'Round the world when you say meter
It's sure that it rhymes with Peter
Yet R before E
In the U.K. it'd be
Which I actually think is much neatre.

Ode to a Blue Bonnet.
There once was a boot and a bonnet.
And fun could be had there on it.
With a bottle of Gin
and putting some in
a record was left upon it.

A question has come to my mind,
How the hell can emoticons rhyme?
makes no sense
In a contexts
But go together just fine.

It's cheating, I know
To rhyme "know" with "know"
And rhyming with
May strike you as wily
But that's the way limericks go.

Ringo-palooza
Twas once a keen wag known as Ringo
who explained how proper some things go
when we wrote a script
it was corrected and flipped
back in our laps as new lingo

Happy Birthday!!
It is a day that comes just once a year
No criticism today, don't you fear
Just posting to say
Have a Happy Birthday
And we're all very glad that you're here.

A Contribution
There once was a man with a boat
All creatures it needed to float
The scared minotaur
Was hiding ashore
And Noah forgot the poor goat!
-------------------------------------
God meant to create with class
But he had a problem with gas
Try as he might
Nature took flight
The Big Bang shot out of his ass!
-------------------------------------
Some search to develop their sanity
Some seek confirmation of vanity
Yet here we are
Beneath our star
Without answers except for profanity!

Re: Happy Birthday!!
I want to include my congrats.
Happy Birthday, and many more, Phats.
I'll write them in verse
(And typically terse).
Now how do I finish this...? Rats!
