There's always people who are desperate to keep their hats after Winter Bash. Don't be:
> There once was a fellow named Fats Whose house was infested with rats He burnt down the house and ate all his grouse and kept just his Winter Bash hats.
It doesn't make much sense, i know. But that's the effect of desperation ;-)
@verbose Thanks, I think I will ask it on the site then for posterity. I'll link back to chat as well since there are so many useful tips already given. (Will ask in several hours, after work.)
> There once was a Lit mod named Randal Who added "al'Thor" to his handle The name was uncanny, The "al"s were too many, So one "al" fell to the Vandals.
There once was a Lit mod named Christophe, Who with users became rather pissed off. He suspended the lot, Then regretted his plot, When he remembered what voters consist of.
@Wildcard To be able to see chat, users have to have 100 rep, I believe. Better incorporate the suggestions from chat into an answer. You can self-answer or turn it into a community blog answer.
Rhyme's Reason is a book by the poet John Hollander that "surveys the schemes, patterns, and forms of English verse, illustrating each variation with an original and witty self-descriptive example". Sort of fun to read.
How pleasant to know Mr. Bose. He writes such an excellent prose. 't Would have been a good thing if he also could sing, but he doesn't, he just sticks to prose.
Of course the second limerick about me was by me, so @bobble wins the prize of being the first individual to have two others write limericks about her.
@Mithical Oh okay. I still think it would be better to have all the info in the answer rather than link it to chat, though
Below is the first limerick I ever wrote in English (in 1994):
> I once had a teacher named Dowse Who caused all his students to drowse 't Would have been a good thing Had he made them to sing But he didn't, he caused them to drowse.
The teacher's name is real; he taught he summer course on literature. The effect is fictitious.
