Old Poetry - 19th February 2007

In response to "please leave a limerick containing the meaning of life after the beep"...

Contemplating the meaning of life
causes many young people such strife!
They don't know what to do
with the number 42,
so they end it all with a knife.

Having acquiesced now to your request,
I shall insert my own little jest -
just so long as you can
try to please understand;
it was all at your own behest.

Your mission at this point in time
is to see past the humour of rhyme,
and detect on your own
who it is on the phone,
as forgetting a friend is a crime!

If you haven't a clue at all,
you'll just have to work up the gall:
double nine four zero
four seven two zero
is the number for you to call!
