I copied this over from 8, just 'cause I'm so darned proud of it : )

Just for kicks, I want to throw in my version of the "egyptian" limmerick. I gave you
folks "Memphis" to see what you'd do with the rhymes, but then I realized I shouldn't
offer something I couldn't rhyme myself, so I wrote this little ditty as well...
