So today by brain has been filled with limericks and doggerel, and I see no reason why I should suffer alone. Here are some sf/fantasy themed ones.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter had me read half the collected poetry of Spike Milligan to her last night &#8211; which starts with Ning Nang Nong and rapidly descends into silliness.</p>
<p>So today by brain has been filled with limericks and doggerel, and I see no reason why I should suffer alone. Here are some sf/fantasy themed ones.<br />
<strong><br />
On nanotech</strong><br />
Nanotech has dangers innate<br />
With particles that replicate<br />
	A world of grey goo<br />
	Is coming, it’s true!<br />
So build rockets and evacuate</p>
<p><strong>The Singularity</strong><br />
Tomorrow may bring singularity<br />
What that means none can say with much clarity<br />
	But thinking machines<br />
	Won’t need human genes<br />
So we’d better all pray for their charity<br />
<strong><br />
No nibbles tonight!</strong><br />
The vampire hunted for blood<br />
‘Neath the flickering gaslamp he stood<br />
	Flashed his fangs at a maid<br />
	Who slapped him and said<br />
“No more pricks, I’m not in the mood!”</p>
<p><strong>Alien love story</strong><br />
Two astronauts stuck on a moon<br />
Sad Sindy and Harry the loon<br />
	He longed for her crater<br />
	She promised him “Later”<br />
Then fled with an alien baboon</p>
<p><strong>Alien love story II: Love Harder</strong><br />
The brave young spaceman Malone<br />
Flew to Venus all on his own<br />
	Those Venusian ladies<br />
	Were hot for his babies<br />
But under pressure his chances were blown</p>
<p><strong>Ode to the Enterprise</strong><br />
Starfleet built some starships called Enterprise<br />
For each captain they had one a different size<br />
	Archer’s was quite small<br />
	Picard’s largest of all<br />
But it was Kirk that got all the green ladies’ sighs</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
