Ledes & Limericks. Thursday January 18 2018



Diners are asking for ever hotter dishes, but

restaurants say few can handle the heat;

‘This is not a joke.’  from the Wall Street Journal

When ordering chili to go,
Beware of the peppers they show.
To boast of the fire
You like can be dire --
Capsaicin will make your tongue glow.


Before Eating Schnuddelhong

With Gromperekichelcher,

You Must Pass the

Sproochentest



When speaking a language that’s foreign
You mustn’t tell people it’s borin’
Or spritz all about
If there’s an umlaut --
Or else you’ll be treated with scorn.


For These Young Entrepreneurs,

Silicon Valley Is, Like, Lame

The Silicon Valley allure
Is lost on Gen X’ers for sure.
Their praise is frugal
For places like Google;
They’d rather tour Kuala Lumpur.



Federal Climate Experts

Rank Last Year Among

Three Warmest in

Modern Times



There was a young person of Leeds
Whose sweat splashed away in great beads.
Twas not exercise
That made his temp rise --
But mankind’s great sooty misdeeds.






Tide Is Telling People

to Call Poison Control

After Doing the Tide

Pod Challenge


People who swallow Tide pods
Are certainly acting like clods.
Your tongue needs the rinse
Like it needs some raw quince --

You’ll be farting soap bubbles in wads.
