There once were no men who ate prunes
They feasted on dates in the dunes
...
...
Were it not for the gnashins and chewins
— Karl Jones (for Steven Brust)
Origin
Steve posted a limerick about plums.
I challenged him to write a limerick about prunes; he refused.
It seems that I can't rely on other people to do for me the work I should be doing for myself, so I did it for myself and dedicated it to them.
Thus does symmetry assert itself.
