Tingling of tongue sent Euripides
Questing a tastier kind of cheese.
"I found cheddar magical,"
Said this poet tragical,
"Sailing the southern antipodes.”

As far as I know, cheddar cheese tastes best in the breeze of the northern antipodes. ~ Connie Sewer

I always find your Limericks above the level of most, Jerrold.

While I am thinking about it, if you are interested I just posted an article "On the Composition of Limericks" (currently pending review) which uses "The Cheese of Euripides" as a case study.
