A few days ago I found this link:

They're kinda fun :D. So I thought, since I'm having a oh-so-boring lesson, what about trying? And I wrote this:

Said Albert, "This quantum device
can't work, God's not playing dice!"
But Old Man, back then,
was raising His hand,
and angrily screaming "Snake eyes!"

Wanna join in? Who's next XD?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Here's one I wrote for a limerick thread a couple years back:


When Newton observed a red fruit
Smash apart on the ground near his boot,
He looked at the moon,
And he started to swoon,
Cause if that fell then he would be moot.
 
Inspired by this thread:

A pole vaulter was deep in a funk,
Because every jump he would flunk
The lorentzian contraction
Gave his pole a subtraction
when faster he ran he was shrunk.
