A Limerick

There once was a teacher, Dick Nipple,
His name it caused quite a ripple,
One day during autumn
He fell on his bottom
Which caused our laughter to triple!


Mr. Teacher
a limerick

I told my 9th grader Catherine's story about the teacher named Dick Nipple and her response was, "Are you serious? You can't be serious! He should have changed his name."

Anyway, we put our creative heads together and composed a limerick in his honor. I originally posted this as a Comment, but since I am a bit of a class clown at times, I decided it was only right to move it up front.

Here are the original third and fourth lines, which we thought we should change:

One day during class,
He fell on his . . .

Disclaimer: In the true spirit of character ed, I don't allow my kids to actually say that word in front of me, but I can't suppress the thought . . .

G-d! I'm always a little bit disheartened when these kind of stories make for more hits/comments, but holy moly!

I'm guffawing with you!

And the rest of the family too!

Clearly, I need more limericks in my life.

Speaking of funny names, my brother says that we have an ancestor named John Death. Apparently, that side of the family died off.
