Scientific Limerick

I don't usually do limericks, but this came to me after watching a Nat-Geo programme about Black Holes.

There was a young chemist from Bristol
Who made a black hole with a pistol
Eureka! he cried
Then it sucked him inside
And now he’s a ten micron crystal

I like limmericks, though i think you need 'and' at the beginning of the last line to make the rythm work.

if you read it I bet you can't avoid adding an "a" in front of "ten"!  
 
I liked it - it catches the daftness of the limerick style very well.

yup you are right, so it captures the daftness of my typing abilities also! :roll

As limericks go, this is as good as it gets! 
 
A splendid one!

Don't think I've ever seen a limerick about a black hole before! Great fun!
