Arthur Lesk

A girl whose frustration was chronic
Became cynical, brash and sardonic:
"I do flutters and dips,
when I wiggle my hips --
They love it when I'm anharmonic."


A bachelor named bra took a bet
That he'd meet a young spinster named ket
He boasted he'd hail her:
"Hi ... let's make a scalar,
Or turn back to back and project"


An abelian group lived far away,
and spent hours in his car every day.
He complained to his pa,
(For whom ab wasn't ba)
"This commuting is turning me gray."
