Science Fiction Limericks
A friend challenged me to come up with science fiction themed clean limericks. The first is self-contained. The second is a two parter in limerick form. Enjoy.
Harry Android dreamt Of Electric Sheep
After counting them while trying to sleep
Inspiring his mate to write a book
Then Great Scott, some film maker took
Up the name Bladerunner – Do androids weep?
And
Pistachio Peeler X V 4
Started questioning what they did it for
The droids went on strike
Bosses asked what they would like
The robots didn’t know for sure
Pistachio Peeler Pete X V 4 struts
Up and down the union meeting huts
Until they throw him in the pistachio machine
Which they say is all safe and clean
But your pistachios may contain nuts.

I think I actually prefer science fiction in poetic form than as prose!

Those were very good. I've tried writing limericks before, but I think all I managed was the first line.
