Subject: EGSA Digest: Limericks, Nominations, and Lectures

Since I missed last weekend’s Bad Wine/Bad Poetry party, I thought I would open this edition of the EGSA digest with two poems that would have been worthy of that noble tradition. I hope these poetic offerings move you (whether with admiration or laughter) to send in

your nominations for next year’s EGSA positions (including secretary) ASAP.

There once was a daft secretary
Whose goal was to make EGSA merry. But after two years of emails, announcements, and details,
Her missives make all her friends weary.

There once was a girl who was wishin’ Her emails would make their eyes glisten. But now two years are over;
EGSA must discover
A newbie to take her position.
