Computational Generation of Limericks

Greg Lessard and Michael Levison

Queen's University, Canada

Correspondence: Greg Lessard, French Studies, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6. E-mail: lessard{at}post.queensu.ca

A program called VINCI from Queen's

Employs computational means

To make metre and rhyme

In right to left time

So limericks appear on your screens.

The people attending this session

We hope will have gained the impression

That these powerful tools,

With appropriate rules,

Can give rise to poetic expression!
