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.
