Notes About The Poem

Al created the algorithm

One late night as Tipper danced with him

The thought came by chance

As they freestyle danced

Initially dubbed "Al Gore Rhythm!"

Al and Tipper Gore dancing in Tennesee in 1997 during happier times.

After all the buzz in 1999 about Al Gore creating the internet, I thought it would be fun to write a limerick about him creating the algorithm too!

An Inconvenient Mistake of Fact

Al created the algorithm
One late night as Tipper danced with him
The thought came by chance
As they freestyle danced
Initially dubbed "Al Gore Rhythm!"

Ha, ha, ha! This is GREAT! Al / AI Gore deserves whatever pus gets slung at him. After all, he accomplished the nearly impossible -- He lost the 2000 election to George Bush, Jr. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Still laughing at that one after all these years. Nicely done, Mark! ~ gw
