All of these limericks were originally posted to Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With A Limerick during the month of July 2026.
Fakity Fake
It was fakity, fakity fake, but we bought it since it came with cake. And the cake tasted good like a real, good cake should, but the message was fakity fake.
The sun’s setting and soon it is gone. Then the dark of the night lingers on,
A Wreck of a Limerick
Though they said, “It’s a wreck,” I am glad it was not so remarkably bad. It was not even worse than the lines of this verse and for that I am gratefully glad.
Though to fly might be fine I’ll just stand where my feet feel the firmness of land. I’ll leave flying to birds or a limerick’s words which don’t care – though they should – how they land.
When we were back in Room 215 of the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro and I heard Moxie tell the red-headed writer that she couldn’t go into the cafe, I asked the voice if he had to stay here as well. Having gotten more acquainted with him I was glad to hear that he could go with me wherever I wanted to go and for as long as I wanted him to accompany me. So, we went to the cafe where we saw the tall, thin man entertaining Lou and Aurelia eating cake with coffee.
Since Aurelia said that the cake was very tasty we ordered some and went to sit at an inconspicuous table in the back. However, from Lou’s direction I sensed a cloud of demonic darkness zero in on my face to tell me, We’re going to send flowers of condolence to your next of kin after we’re done with you.
Realizing that I had only one sentence left with which to defend myself and I still hadn’t used the prompt word “pinch” I was surprised that the cloud suddenly backed away shaking in terror when it heard the voice by my side say, YOU again?
Here is an AI generated description of this place that one can reach by car or the Little Sugar Creek Greenway:
James K. Polk was born in a log cabin in Pineville, North Carolina (then part of Mecklenburg County) on November 2, 1795. The original farmhouse no longer exists, but the site is preserved as the President James K. Polk State Historic Site, located at 12031 Lancaster Highway in Pineville. The historic site features a reconstructed log cabin based on period descriptions and is open to the public free of charge.

Seven years ago I thought the flood of Genesis 6-9 was a local event (if not a myth). Five years ago I began considering the possibility that the Genesis flood might have actually happened as a global event.
To make sense of how it could have happened globally I studied catastrophic plate tectonics (CPT). This is a theory based upon secular plate tectonics which claims that there are plates supporting the granitic continents which rapidly subducted into the Earth causing tsunamis to flood the land. My doubts about CPT arose when I realized that it couldn’t explain the source of the mile high sediments over the continents nor could it (any more than secular plate tectonics) explain how plate subduction could have ever got started.
Then I began studying the hydroplate theory (HPT) to look for a more satisfying explanation for a global flood. With HPT I found out where the mile high sediments came from, where radioactive elements in the continental crust came from, where comets, asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects came from and why the side of the moon facing us has dark lava flows on it.
Over the past seven years I went from thinking Noah’s flood was a local event to thinking it was a global event to realizing that whatever happened it was so drastic as to leave its mark on many of the planets and moons of the solar system. If HPT were correct in describing what Genesis 7:11 meant by the foundations of the great deep being broken up and the windows of heaven being opened, what happened during the global flood (and what we are still recovering from today) was an horrific global catastrophe.

Real Science Radio is a creationist organization that has promoted HPT for some time. Below is Bob Enyart’s presentation of HPT based on the 8th edition of Walt Brown’s In the Beginning.
