A conversation yesterday... Me: So, did you enjoy my poetry the other night? Colleague: Yes. I liked the one that sounded like Edward Lear. M; (Puzzled) Which one was that? C: The one about the President. M: That doesn’t sound like Lear. C: Who does it sound like, then? M: Gilbert and Sullivan. It's based on “The Very Model of a Modern Major General” C: I thought it was like Lear. You know the poem about the periodic table. M: (Thinks for a moment) Do you mean Tom Lehrer? C: No, Edward Lear. M: He didn’t write about the periodic table. C: What did he write? M: A lot of limericks and The Pobble Who Has No Toes. C: Wasn’t that in Alice In Wonderland? M: No that was by Lewis Carroll Posted here instead of Facebook so as not to embarrass her…This message has been edited. Last edited by: BobHale, "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money."

Forgot to mention that she was also on my quiz team on Thursday. Didn't matter. We won anyway. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||
