Shroud over the Super Bowl In New Orleans the tensions get tauter As we near "the day Patriots fought here" But I have to concede S'more a bibical deed To be leading the Rams to the slaughter. But then nothing is conceded here; For the principal we hold most dear Is that, at the coin toss, There's a win and a loss; And for patriots it's been a bad year. Yet this battle will not be long-lived; And the most pleasure can be derived In avoiding, this year, Facing our greatest fear; And in knowing that all have survived. © 2002 The Limerick Savant |

In trying to answer this query, Even Albert Einstein grew weary. His final advice: "God doesn't play dice," But remember that is just a theory. And even the renowned Stephen Hawking, On the question of big bangs, is balking So if seeking the source, As a matter of course, You will find that the source isn't talking. For despite principal uncertainty As to how and why this all came to be; It makes perfect sense, 'Twas a light expense That created the required energy © 2002 The Limerick Savant |

To Ann R. Redo Ann, I really do not wish to pry, But there's something you do with your eye. Is it simply a trick, Or a mere facial tic? It's, by far, the meekest wink! - Goodbye. © 2002 The Limerick Savant |
