twitmericks

As of today, all Twitter users can have up to 280 characters instead of 140. The first limerick was written with the old limit, the second makes use of the new limit.

OLD

A 140-character tweet/

Is brief, to the point, short and sweet/

280/

May make them more w80/

But not quite so damnably neat.///

NEW

A one-forty-character tweet/

Is brief, to the point, short and sweet/

Two hundred and eighty/

May make them more weighty/

But not quite so damnably neat.///
