Apologies to the Limerick pros, humorous poetry is not a strongpoint of mine. Actually, humor itself is not really a strongpoint of mine lol.

 

 

In the Pocket For years Nana begged for a holiday But pop's only passion was Faraday He failed to do the math Created a psychopath She smirked, "Give my regards to Hemingway." (Pocket: Some surfers call this the energy zone and it can be identified as the steepest point in the wave.)
