Limericks and Alphard

I found some limericks that were actually funny on Wikipedia the other day.

There was a young bard from Japan,
Whose limericks never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He said, "It's because
I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

And:

A limerick fan from Australia
Regarded his work as a failure:
His verses were fine
Until the fourth line.

If enough people don't find the above funny I will concede that I have a weird sense of humour. Although I tend to prefer "highly sophisticated" to "weird."

Anyway I was jealous that Yee Ling had a hamster, so I got a llama. His name is Alphard. I've tried to get him to spit, like a normal llama should, but it's not working out. Hmph.

Happy national day (for yesterday).
