Extra Credit
Hi, all!
I've been gone all summer but now school's back in session and I have an extra credit assignment for ya'll. One of my law school professors is offering ONE ENTIRE DOLLAR to the person who can come up with the best limerick by the end of the semester using the word ANADROMOUS. (Def): a*NAD*dro*mous (adj.) Migrating up rivers from the sea to breed in fresh water. Used of fish. Any help would be greatly appreciated and, of course, I'll split the proceeds with ya. |

An anadromous fish friend I know
At the seaside said, "I've got to go! "I'll be struggling upstream "'Til I practically scream "But fresh water's where my babies grow!"

An anadromous trout, name of Fred,
couldn't make love in a salty bed. He swam up a fresh stream and had sex like a dream. Life is short but good for a steel head. edit to add. that 1/2 dollar is soooo MINE. *Starts planning how to invest it...thinking perhaps limmerick lessons* Last edited by Coffee : 09-08-2004 at 12:55 AM. |

A zealous young fellah I know,
had ten vodkas and put on a show his words became slurred which made us quite worried "It's amorous not ANADROMOUS, you schmo!" |

There once was a salmon, anadromous
who announced he would take his leave from us "I have learnt in a dream I should journey upstream, I'll be back before winter I promise!" |

Her biolo-clock is a 'tickin'
Age has given this salmon a lickin' But with instincts anadromous She's still somewhat glamromous And though fishy, she feels like a chicken.

There once was a professor of law
"One dollar for a rhyme with more Than the word 'anachronous'" He wanted 'anadromous'! Good thing Gatsby's an internet whore.

anadromous bees may seem anomalous
(though their buzzing's a little monotonous) they'll fly up a river with their wings all aquiver in formations completely homogenous |

An anadramous hippopotomus named Cladius
Once thought that true love was quite obvious "You just swim up the stream spot the girl of your dreams; And pick the posterius most plenteous!" Last edited by nycwriters : 09-17-2004 at 01:50 AM. |
