* Delete trailing white space in all its forms. In addition to being bad style in general, it also causes formatting, and other problems for various third party items (like xscreensaver) which use fortunes for their own purposes.

A limerick of classic proportion
|
|
should have meter and rhyme and a portion
|
|
of humor quite lewd,
|
|
and a frightfully crude,
|
|
impossible sexual contortion.

A limerick is best when it's lewd,
|
|
gross, titillating and crude --
|
|
but this one is clean,
|
|
unless you are seen
|
|
reading it aloud in the nude.

I wanted to print here a medley
|
|
of limericks so gross they were deadly,
|
|
but when the typesetter tried
|
|
to set them, he died;
|
|
(not to mention my editor, Smedly.)

I have written some limericks quite fateful,
|
|
malicious and vicious and hateful;
|
|
but I've torn up the jokes
|
|
that will sicken most folks,
|
|
and humanity ought to be grateful.
