NOTE FROM DAVE:
In the spirit of the season, we thought
a limerick or two might be appropriate.


The Top 10 SF Limericks


10> A Jedi named Yoda from out in the stars Spoke in ways that were quite hard to parse. Said he, “Strange speech too Would happen to you With Frank Oz’s fist up your arse.”

9> There once was a pilot named Solo Who played intergalactic-type polo. He thought Leia’s bikini Was awesomely teeny – Which hardened his mallet below.

8> The Evil One reached out from Mordor, Sending Ring Wraiths over the border. In search of the Ring – Opposing the King – He caused quite a bit of disorder.

7> While cruising along at warp nine, Kirk’s masculine looks were not fine. His head felt bare, With nary a hair, Then Rogaine restored his scalp line.

6> There once was a five-year space mission That showed lots of green-slave-girl kissin’. It spawned many series, Books, movies and theories – Thereby proving the law of tele-fission.

5> There once was a planet called Dune, Whose dryness would cause you to swoon. But there was much spice, Its effects were quite nice, And the Space Guild could get you there soon.

4> There once was a captain named Kirk. Some loved him, some thought him a jerk. He was brash, He was brave, The whole Earth he once saved. He got all the hot chicks as a perk.

3> Deep Space Nine can just bore you to tears. In which case, head to Quark’s for some beers. He’ll serve Romulan Ale And he’ll say without fail, “Go ahead with your tale — I’m all ears!”

2> There once was a Martian named Mike Who was raised as a strange little tike. All the girls they would flock, So Mike, he could grok, And discover the ones he did like.

and the Number 1 SF Limerick…

1> There once was a Borg they called Seven Whose breasts were just this side of heaven. To say naught of her rear, And her cute little ear, Any nicer, they’d call her Eleven.
