Happiness, of course, is the limerick about relativity

Einstein in Vienna, 1921

 

Relativity.

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

-- A. H. Reginald Buller, Professor of Botany, Punch, December 19, 1923

Happiness is a Rush Limbaugh sendup

Rush Hudson Limbaugh,
a febrile font of faux pas,
everyday, from his throne,
behind a golden microphone,
grifts millions spoutin' hoo-ha.

Happiness is "Taxing Deadlines" By Madeleine Begun Kane









Taxing Deadlines
By Madeleine Begun Kane (here):

Did you file your 1040? Not me!
Cuz I need an extension, you see.
Could not get it together.
I’m blaming the weather.
Do I wish it was finished? Mais oui!

To keep "who" and "whom" straight, just remember this

Bob "Zoey" Tur threatens Ben Shapiro
There once was a fairy named Bloom
who took a lesbian up to his room
They spent the whole night
having a fight
over who would do what with which to whom.
