Hawkins and Dawking

“There’s no God” announced Stephen Hawking,
The result was a great deal of squawking,
'Til someone came clean
That his voicebox machine
Had been sabotaged by Richard Dawking.*

  1. Well, that's it, I surrender. One simply can't argue with a sage whose wisdom is grounded solidly in objective, evidenced-based observation and experiment.

  2. Though I be but a bloodthirsty brigand;
    I like to read Think of England.
    But spotting yon limerick
    I beg Andrew ... um, er ... Brit,
    Please do not up and start this again.

  3. David, thanks for the timely reminder,
    Goodness me, Peter B played a blinder!
    Dear old Duck tried his luck
    With no little pluck,
    But on the ear his rhymes could have been kinder...

  4. Brit once suffered beneath the delusion
    He knew ultimate Truth to exclusion
    Of Post-Juddites diverse,
    Who in verse he would curse,
    Now he dabbles and thinks in confusion.
