Young Ira a BHP Science Prize winner for converting kitchen appliances to atomic energy became the poster boy for Australian Nuclear research on the 50’s

Dear reader, this came to us from our foremost correspondent form the near north-east Ira Maine. Ira, who is still denying responsibility for the earth shattering 5 on the Richter scale earthquake, (allegedly he was experimenting with his Junior Scientist Chemistry set upon secondment to the AUKUS treaty partners in determining likely Australian adaptations to the ‘Opium Wars Class’ Attack Nuclear Submarine programme) he had time enough to compose this masterful piece of limerick. 

The Chemcraft No.1, Ira’s own commercial brain-child was adopted by the Yanks, whilst his acceptance before the Australian Government languished with other “Far- Fetched” proposals, Solar energy, indigenous recognition, separation of church and state, etc…

Though limericks have variously been described as low-brow, smutty and superficial by the likes of our Poet laureate, Sir Rolf of Harris, they are still required in times of crisis as a moral boost for those suffering long covid or blind trust funds management fatigue (BTFMF). 

So give yourself a moral boost and enjoy this wonder about British pluck and stocicism during the darkest hour, in which;  ‘even the white bits were dark’.  

He writes..

A lady who came from St. Kitts,

Survived the entire London Blitz,

When she fell down a drain,

Found a sack of cocaine,

The Lab technician set for girls was altered by specialist intervention by the P.M, and re-marketed as the ‘Hearth and Home Domestic Duties kit’. Popularly sold through Amway connected pentacostal churches.

And spent the rest of the war off her tits!
