When I got back in the office after the winter holidays, I found a printout on my chair:
This limerick goes in reverse
Unless I'm remiss
The neat thing is this:
If you start at the bottom-most verse
This limerick's not any worse
No one has claimed responsibility for leaving it.

(The writer is, according to the helpful internets, Zach Weiner.)

Subject quote from "In the Valley of Cauteretz," Alfred Tennyson.

I meant cute as in clever, a la Raymond Chandler:

"Don't get cute, Marlowe."
"Sorry if I let my brains show."

As a rule, limericks don't do much for me. This one made me laugh.

And that an anonymous donor would leave it for you... that's cool.
