The song "Home on the Range" is essentially a limerick. Therefore, any limerick can be sung to the tune of "Home on the Range". (lemmy.world)

essentially a limerick

The first line of a limerick has a flexible number of syllables. Sometimes eight, sometimes nine ("There once was a man from Nantucket..."). It still remains that any limerick can be put the to tune of that song because there is enough space for each syllable.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
