Two Unlikely Limericks on the Name of Joachim


(1)

The fastidious fans of Joachim

Were seldom so gauche as to stalk him,

When (rarely) a groupie

Got overly snoopy,

A bodyguard came in to block him.



(2)

The critics of Joseph Joachim

Were likely to praise, not to mock him;

They knew he took pride

In his serious side,

And they chose, in respect, not to knock him.
