FOR BARBARA COHEN—LEARNING LIMERICKS

FOR BARBARA COHEN–LEARNING LIMERICKS*

–

A RAISE IN RANK

–

Mail persons come by for the mail,

Sat “HI” ti the Guard without fail…

Without tests to proctor

The Guard is called “Doctor”,

Is there secret knowledge  availed?

–

CAMERA MAGNIFICATION

–

Big bugs on CCTV,

Bigger than the cars you see…

That giant bug size

Fools the eyes—

Just closer to the camera  they be!

–

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS

–

Learning a language is cheap

Compared to the potential heap…

Of understanding mistakes

Of one who takes

Translators to every meet!

–Jonathan Caswell
