Some ne'er-do-well, wild rhetoricians In bad economic conditions Attempt to cause strife To Nazify life And further their sordid ambitions.

Thank you A.C.Bowden, you seem to have leapfrogged over "clever" and landed on "brillant" even while seemingly making your wording as easy as A.C.B.
Thanks from all.

My life is the swing of a pendulum Attempting to reach equilibrium. Mostly, tasks I perform Deviate from the norm: Witness limericks which never quite end up plumb.

In marathons, athletes outrun The folk who just enter for fun, Except for one time When they struggled through grime And a sweeper in overalls won.

Would you rather be mired in a cipher or a circuit? Neither (says the dreaming man) no cipher would be perfect The moon circles the Earth The Earth circles the sun The morning dream will circle your id until you finally jerk it.

Some spectres are genial guys; No glacial stare fills their eyes. One jaunty old cove Of a ghost said: "By Jove! It's you, old boy! What a surprise!"

Mankind has never seen a wave or particle What we've seen is a wave and particle track We our selves involve ourselves In things ourself can never solve But one day flight 670 will surely be found intact

I think this calls for a clerihew:
Old Lucifer Thought he would make victory conclusiver If he plotted in his lunchroom with his fellow-devils A strategy for escalating wickedness to even higher levels.

Egads, maybeso I'd best pass this one up. As I was hurrying to finish my snarky words last night a tornado passed through almost hitting my house. What a mess; two dozen big hardwood trees snapped like toothpicks, and two canoes now sailing somewhere in the sky.
Whew! I think I'll go somewhere and be good for a day or two because bad weather is expected again later today.
