Winter 2006/2007 Limerick Competition
Back in the Winter we posted the following first line of a limerick and challenged you to complete it.
Computing with genes is quite hard, ...
Here is the one we decided we like best:
Computing with genes is quite hard,
and work beyond Safe Mode is barred,
or they'll find you're the fool
who's diluting the pool
then delete you when you are off-guard
Two others were specially commended by the judges:
Computing with genes is quite hard:
It's mutations 'gainst which you must guard.
When the load gets excessive,
A gene gets recessive
And spawns a near perfect punched card.
Computing with genes is quite hard
Thus good fortune attended the Bard
To be born in a time
When a person could rhyme
While leaving his genomes unscarred
