from my friends father
THERE ONCE WAS A MAN NAMED TIM,
WHO THOUGHT HE COULD BE VERY SLIM
SO HE WENT TO THE BAKERY
AND ATE A LOT OF CAKERY
AND THEN HE WENT TO THE GYM
This thread was about logs, as I recall. Now the stam log is actually the natural log. It is the only one with the magic properties that the exponential has, which is that no matter how many times you differentiate it, it remains the same function.
Some books will write it as log, although others use ln. Matlab will use log10 for the base 10 log function. In complex variables, I think they use log or Log depending on whether it is the single valued or multi-valued function.
Anyway, regarding the magic property of the exponential, the Thomas text on Calculus has this mashal to try to explain it:
A student once came to the guru and asked, what holds up the world. The guru thought for a long time and said, an elephant. The student then asked, well, what holds up the elephant? The guru thought about it, and replied, another elephant. The student then asked, well, what holds up that elephant? The guru thought again and responded, it’s elephants all the way down.
Sorry Blinky, I didn’t realize that there were rules about the length of the lines. Let me try one again:
oomis1105 is thrilled to go on the date,
The Shadchan promised that the guy is great,
But the guy’s a math wizard,
Who’s proud of his lizard,
oomis1105 begins to plan her great escape.
My dear Dr. Pepper, please note
There’s a slight error in what you wrote.
Though I often sound harried,
I’m very much married.
So dating would sure rock my boat!

But sleeping so early just sounds wrong!
oomis1105- I was just trying to rhyme
by recalling a post not seen in a long ===>time<===,
I thought it would fly

about bringing ===>Purses on a Date<===
between me and Squeak
we’re up the creek
Thanks, that would be grrreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat!
There once was a man from Nantucket
who tripped and fell on bucket
He fell on his face
‘Twas quite a disgrace
‘Cause on his head-forever- G-d stuck it!
Hey, Doc, purses are greatly needed
This point, by now, should be conceded.
Like scout troops are taught
“Be prepared,”‘s a good thought,
So that thread really should be deleted!
The CR’s a stage for many a battle
At the drop of a hat the sabers may rattle

A friend of mine ordered me to post this gem, ascribed to the Fallsberg Oylum:
Do you know the teitch of a shnook?

Call themselves Shlita,
And make sure their name’s on a book.

A flea and a fly in a flue;
Were stuck so what could they do;
Said the flea;”let us fly”,
Said the fly; “let us flee”,
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

blinky,
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.
Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.
Of this story we hear from Nantucket,
About the mysterious loss of a bucket,
We are sorry for Nan,
The cash and the bucket, Pawtucket.
Get it?
did you make that UP?
Its a favourite project of mine
A new value of ‘pi’ to assign
I would fix it at 3
For its simpler you see
Than at 3.14159
An exceedingly large friend of mine
When asked at what hour he’d dine
He replied at 11
And at 3, 5 and 7
Then at 8 and again after 9
A school boy who lived in Japan
His limericks never would scan
When they asked him “but why?”
He would say with a sigh
“Its because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”
Pumpkins are good for a pickin’
And in pies for finger lickin’
But on halloween
Some think it should not be seen
In a nice frum Jewish kitchen
emoticon, nope, I’m not that talented. I read it somewhere. I think it was part of an ongoing newspaper contest or something.
vnishmartemmeod:
Of that pumpkin you spoke of before
I just picked one up at the store
And on Hallowe’en
In my kitchen t’will be seen
Baked – and served with butter galore
I just thought of another along the same lines.
Allow me to give some advice
On a topic thats not very nice
On October three one
Jewish kids have no fun
But next day the candy’s half price!
Blinky, it isn’t so hard
Pretending that I am The Bard,
Though Shakespeare I’m not
When put on the spot,
I seem to have let down my guard.
I’m really impressed with this thread
I can’t get the thought out of my head
what really good clean fun
Think, type and done
And no lashon hara gets said
Minyan gal, I wanted to mention
thank you for the specific attention
for taking your precious time
to respond by limerick rhyme
and releasing some of my pumpkin tension
Once again I say Shabbat Shalom
My wish is for peace in your home
And tonight when you dine
And sip of your wine
Pray for those who are all alone.
Most posts here are not plagiarized
No raunchy ones now bowdlerized
We wrote them fresh
Made the rhymes mesh
For this our efforts should be prized
Tommy’s a bit of an oddball
Not just because he ain’t tall
It his bowtie and vest,
the flower pinned to his breast,
that makes him stand out ‘mongst us all.
This morning while sitting at the beauty salon (with color on my hair – so it was a long sit) I was very bored, so I took out a pen and……
I know you may think me a bore
For I’ve spoken of this once before
On All Hallow’s Eve
Just get up and leave
And you won’t have to answer the door.
Three brothers named X, Y and Z
Wed sisters called A, B and C
When their families grew
They knew just what to do
And called their kids 1, 2 and 3.
Part 1
I’ve always got a sore back
I kvetch when I carry a pack
The doctor said “Rest”
I said “Surely you jest”
For a personal servant I lack.
Part 2
He said I have warned you before
That your back will always be sore
For shlepping’s a no-no
And bending’s just so-so
And you’ll hurt till you do this no more.
I’m Bubby to two boys that love me
Even though they tower above me
For they’r very tall
And I’m very small
And they have to bend over to hug me.
This thread is making me crazy
My brain is all clouded and hazy
For now all the time
I speak strictly in rhyme
And my friends want me taken away-zy
Question for the Mods:
I can’t stop composing these silly limericks. Do I qualify for a name change? Instead of a “member” I would love to be known as a
“limericist”. (I don’t even think such a word exists but if one can be a lyricist, then why not?)
“I can’t stop composing these silly limericks”
I know what you mean, Gal of Minyan
I can’t stop this limerick inyan.
Would you tell me, please
Is this some rare disease?
I would just like your honest opinion!
There was this sadist of Yokohama
Who loved to see tragedies and drama
Causing Tzoros he would
Whenever he could
That’s why he voted for Ob…
