    There once was a rainy street party
    Which tried very hard to be hearty
    But the thunder and lightening
    Made the whole thing quite frightening
    And hard for the party to start-y.

    (Idea nicked from Enoch's excellent limerick conclusion here.)

    There was an Old Man of Ohio
    Who worked very hard on his bio
    He wrote of his days
    And his gardening ways
    And the nights he imbibed Baby Bio.

    In dense fog, there once was a fight
    Between hog and dog with quite great might
    The fighting was bad
    The tousling was mad
    Still don't know who won - it's not right!
