I’ll stick to my limericks, thanks. Haven’t written any for a loooong time. I actually write better in Dutch/Afrikaans
OK then:
‘n Dame van Nederlands uit,
Sê, ‘Jammer, hoor, maar dit my spyt,
‘n Haiku skryf ek nie;
Vir my het geen plek nie;
Want ek eet nie rys vir ontbyt!’
(A lady from Netherlands source,
Said, ‘Though I am sorry, of course,
I do not write haiku,
And I would not like to –
My breakfasts have no rice in force!’)
——————
Cogito ergo sum:
Descartes before de horse?
(‘I think, therefore I am,’
is what that says, of course;)
But that would surely mean
that if you do not think,
You’d swiftly leave the scene,
Snuffed out within a wink!
The theory’s thus disproved:
Malema’s* still on call,
And Zuma’s** not removed …
Who’ve never thought at all!
*(Or: Cameron’s still on call.)
**(Or: …;/ Obama’s not removed.)

WOW! I couldn’t follow that at all.
What I find interesting is the last photo. The guy in blue (on the right) is young and skipping along all happy while the older couple do all the work..

I get the feeling that the horses are the only ones there who really knew what was going on …

Descartes was/is still one of my favourite Mathematicians as I used to enjoy the introductory lessons for the grade 9’s on straight line graphs and the Cartesian plane.

I just HAD to do a limerick in response to that, and one thing led to another …
