A theorist evaluating a weight,
Neglected what he should calculate.
He said: what the hell,
I do quite well,
When two is much larger than eight!
Maxwell had plenty of time to think
While dipping his pen in the ink.
Today's computations
With Maxwell's equations
Don't leave you the time for a wink
There once was an Editor who, without shame,
Changed the rules in the middle of the game.
Against the tradition,
And conventional definition,
He allowed multi-stanzas under limerick name!
If a player will kick a basketball while running,
Will the referee praise him for being so cunning?
And yet we see in the list
Of the limericks finalist
These multi-stanza poems, which is just stunning!
There once was a theorist, well worthy of mention,
Who neglected the leading term in a series expansion.
He said: elegance counts
More than actual amounts
Only engineers are concerned with the real dimension!
