There was a young lady named Bright
Who traveled at the speed of light
She set out one day,
In a relative way,
And came back the previous day
From that anonymous guy!!
There once was a man from Savanah
Who died in curious manner:
He whittled a hole
In a telephone pole
And electrified his banana

In a relative way,
And came back the previous day
From that anonymous guy!!

William Shakespeare's limerick about imbibing spirits appeared in “Othello, Act II, Scene III”:
“And let me the canakin clink, clink.
And let me the canakin clink.
A soldier’s a man.
A life’s but a span.
Why, then, let a soldier drink.”
“And let me the canakin clink, clink.
And let me the canakin clink.
A soldier’s a man.
A life’s but a span.
Why, then, let a soldier drink.”
