The Writer's Gallery POET'S CORNER


We have all kinds of verse here. For instance, we think this short limerick from Mike Barrett will get 'ye ta' grinnin'...

A Limerick From A Well Known Scotsman

There was a small blue alien, 'Prometheus Tim',
Who mined Dilithium Crystals by the Galactic Rim.
He didn't like being blue,  
But as he sadly knew,
"You just canne' change the Laws of Physics, Jim!"

- Mike Barrett, 1995, Leeds, U.K.
