Just got this site on another list:

OEDILF

That's the Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form. Here are a few that I found, just on a cursory glance . . .

One about the town of Agawan, MA:

Head to Agawam: town mighty fine.
There's good hiking (or throw in a line).
It's in Southern MA,
Down Connecticut way,
And the ZIP code is binary nine.

And amicus:

Amicus is Latin for "friend".
In a courtroom, its meaning will bend.
It's a brief by some smarty
Who's not the suit's party
But cares how the trial will end.

and anthem:

Our beautiful anthem arose
From our nation's great culture. It goes:
"We shall cherish our peace
And our joy will increase
As we dance in the blood of our foes."

Okay, I'm spending far too much time at this, and I haven't even gotten out of the As yet . . . back to work with me . . .



--------

Oops. One more. Alpenhorn:

The sound of the Swiss alpenhorn
Is haunting and low and forlorn
With its song so expressive
And its length so impressive
It's the toast of the whole Matterhorn.

Really going now, I swear . . .
