  Limericks
You know it must be time to get to bed when you start reading limericks. Waiting for Scribus to slowly crash (sigh), I perused Wiki's limerick entry, where I found this gem:

A limerick fan from Australia
Regarded his work as a failure:
His verses were fine
Until the fourth line.


Genius. I am also a fan of not-rymes, and a friend shared this one:


There once was a man from Nantucket.
Who wanted to sell me a bucket...
But he couldn't because
There were too many laws
So he threw up his hands and said, "Vote Libertarian!"


Phrase of the day: a canonical work of bawdy limericks

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
