Thread Name: BS: A game with eye-rhymes
Subject: RE: BS: A game with eye-rhymes
I think the limerick ref'd above may be ~~

There was a young fellow of St Bartholomew's
Whose car went by fits and by St Startholomew's
Till a fellow name St John
Had a look at the 't John
And fitted it out with spare St Partholomew's

~~ not exactly eye-rhymes ~ not sure how one would describe them: but will fit OK here, I think.

~M~

Merciful note to any Martians or whoever unfamiliar with the facts that St Bartholmew's Hospital in London is always referred to by the students of its distinguished medical school as 'Barts'; and that the surname St John is conventionally pronounced 'Sinj·n'.
