Have been looking forward to posting this one. It is one of my personal favourites.
This week is Maths Week. At school today there was a quiz in the staff room and one of the questions asked us to compose a limerick with the first line:
There was a mathematician named Sam….
Here is my attempt
There was a mathematician named Sam
He kept kosher and never ate ham
He really loved pi
And never would lie
Unless he was caught in a jam.
My father told us this one (not about Sam)
There was once a young lady named Bright,
Who could travel faster than light,
She went out one day,
In a relative way,
And returned the previous night.
