Limerick Corner
by Walter MacDonald

There was a man from Kent
Whose telescope was bent
But he said with a laugh
After an astrophotograph
"It's OK, it's just a dent!"


There was an observer named Clarence
Whose horizons needed more clearance
So he cut down the trees
To the height of his knees
And now observes without interference!

There once was a man from Kars
Who loved to observe from afars
And he said with a grin
As he put an eyepiece in
"If I could, I'd observe from Mars!"

There once was a man named Evans
Who loved to observe the Heavens
So he went to dark skies
Dark adapted his eyes
And stayed up all night with his C-11's!
