And sometimes a classic arises that truly delights and surprises. The lass from Nantucket sought humor and struck it. Do likewise is what I advises.

A limerick's easy to write, and it tends to get read with delight. All those abbots and nuns are quite proud of their sons, and their daughters, who turned out all right.
