Physics Limericks

[Cuivienen]

Verifiable originals, created in my AP Physic C class's free time.


Miss Farad was pretty and sensual
And charged to a reckless potential;
But a rascal named Ohm
Conducted her home.
Her decline was, alas, exponential.


There once was a fellow named Cole
Who ventured too near a black hole.
His dv by dt
Was quite wondrous to see,
But now all that's left is his soul.


The first one only has a perfect rhyme in the American accent, which slurs sensual's final two syllables a bit.

Feel free to post other highly nerdy science or math poetry.

 

[Souron]

There was a young lady of Wight
Who traveled faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

--Actual quote from Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time

 

[Bartleby]

^One remarkably similar to that appeared in Adrian Berry's The Iron Sun (1977).

edit: it probably goes all the way back to Einstein's theories of relativity.

 

[Swiss Bezerker]

There once was a lady from rides
Who ate sour apples and died
The apples fermented
Inside they lamented
and made cider inside her insides

 

[Truronian]

An integer set known as G
Contained numbers from zero to three
But with the operation
of multiplication
a group, this set failed to be!

I Yodaed the last line a little, but I feel t'is not bad for a five minute attempt
