There once was a university prez
Who said “The Board will do as I says,”
“Give me a job for my spouse,
A car, and a house,
And watch Limerick U trick out my rez”

Weak, but it was irresistible…
There once was a lady named Anna
Whose husband was Limerick’s Poohbah
“We need some more pounds for our piggy.”
“Org dev for me is a biggie.”
“That’s a job that I truly do wanna.”

No one qualified as my wife
could do this job with little strife
Who cares about precedent?
I am the president!
I deserve a much easier life.

The Prez is furtive and mean
You must keep him in close quarantine
Else he and his wife
Will make college life
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.

Many marvelous limericks! UD thanks you all.
