I have solved it (not anything earth shaking.) Should I post it, or let everyone else have fun?

Indeed, it is nothing earth shattering. Only intended to let a little fun into the board. You are correct that e=w. See if others report solving it, CSL. You're a good sport.

Thought it was fun. I liked it. Keep throwing them in every once and awhile.

I hope we will have an annual Limerickapollooza this summer.

In honor of Emma, here is a cryptoquoted limerick:

Spc Wmyposs duc Vkshnw mdc d xyyngul
Fmyky Vkshnw nspc Wmyposs my fdw opyycgul.
My wdgc "Cgwdjsf"
Sk fguc rb d vsf,
Ws Wmyposs ldjy Edi Lkgxyw d oydngul.

Hint: s=o and pay attention to capitalization.

Maybe not a great limerick, but should be fun!

Did you say annual? Let's hope we are not fighting the good fight that long. If it goes on for too many years we might consider having the Limerickapollooza and the coming out party in a nursing home.

The first to solve the limerick should go ahead and post it. We'll see if the Mr. Wonderful organization can come up with a CryptoLimerick award for them.

Old Shelboo and Crofts had a meeting

Where Crofts told Shelboo he was bleeding.

He said "Disavow"

Or wind up a cow,

So Shelboo gave Jay Grimes a beating.

Fun, Crypto! Thanks!

Wow! That translation was fast.

So, Retired Prof wins the CryptoLimerick for today! Glad you enjoyed it, Prof. What do you think of the sentiment?

Today's limerick (with brief commentary). First to solve it post it:

Hvc ntwyjun zipjg Hsipjn izg Piaczj

Ajh'n nwujv Gjiz Sia Gchd.
Xth Gchd'n zc hcigd.

(Vj scfj!!)

Today's hint: j=e

Attaboy, Crypto! Good fun and I appreciated the sentiment as well. Just one thing, though. This retired prof is a she.

No sooner did I post it than I realized the sexist nature of the post. Crypto is chagrined, but hopes to redeem himself with the just posted CryptoLimerick. A thousand pardons, Madame Retired Prof.

Two suckers named Thames and Malone

Were talking one day on the phone.

Let's screw Dean Hal Doty.

But Doty's no toady,

And thus ends Thames' reign in the Dome.

(We hope!!)

You are forgiven. And your latest rhyme is sublime! I hope you are a prophet as well as a code-master. RP
