A Double Limerick:
On Einstein’s Theory of Relativity :
In High School Physics, I recall having studied Relativity. Relativity was a stunning concept and scientists all over the world debated the veracity of Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc2, which implied that matter and energy were equivalent and, more specifically, that a single particle of matter could be converted into a huge quantity of energy.
Now here is a novel interpretation of that equation from my collection. Hats off to the unknown composer.
E N J O Y!!
Said Einstein, “I have an equation
that some may think Rabelaisian.
Let V be virginity
approaching infinity
and P equal constant persuasion.
Now, let V over P be inverted
and the root of persuasion inserted
It is easy to see
the result, Q.E.D.
is a relative,” Einstein asserted.

EVOLUTION LIMERICK
When we were young we were taught that we had descended from monkeys.
Today monkeys teach their young ones. See how!!
EVOLUTION…REVOLUTION…RE-EVOLUTION?
Said an ape as he swung by his tail,
To his offspring both female and male,
“From your offspring, my dears,
In a couple of years,
May evolve a professor at Yale.”

A Mathematical Limerick
A dozen, a gross, plus a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared (and not a bit more).

A Japanese Limerick
My next Limerick…..
Subject: A Japanese tries to compose a limerick but fails.
The reason? See for your self.
There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When they asked him, Why?
He said, with a sigh,
“It’s because I always try to get as many words into the last line as l can”
Moral :
It is easier to manufacture a Japanese car than to compose a limerick!!
