On the Supreme Court's Proving They've Read the Constitution
The High Court of the Land made it clear:
You can’t rule just by fear and by spear.
Mister Bush, here’s the thing,
It’s the Law that is King,
And not you (nor the Veep with your ear).

On the OEDILF's Diabolical Plan
If you are a fan of limericks (and how could you not be--you're reading my blog, are you not?), you should check out the OEDILF (The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form, pronounced "oh-DILF") at www.oedilf.com. Even better, you should join the effort, especially since it will take about a century at the current rate. I recently started contributing to it (as Dr. Work, of course), and here are some of my contributions:
In two-thousand-and-four we began
The OEDILF's diabolical plan:
To define every word
With a limerick absurd.
It's our Anapest Destiny, man!
BHT's often put in a slew
Of the processed junk food that you chew.
It's not just in your bread—
It's embalming the dead.
So your food's perhaps processing you!
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is a common, although controversial, antioxidant put into many processed foods, as well as non-food products such as jet fuel and embalming fluid.

On the Obesity-Subway-Starbucks Connection
The Subway Version:
So, which came first, the plague of Starbucks and Subways or our "need" for them?
Americans eat 'round the clock
We're fat and we're sick—what a shock!
We can't get very far
When we don't take the car
Thank God there're two Subways per block
Can you cure my addiction, please, doc?
I drink coffee non-stop 'round the clock!
Since my need for caffeine
And for sugar's so keen,
Ain't it great there're two Starbucks per block?
