Yes, yes, we're your people, chained_bear. For better or worse. ;->

You know, this site is called Wordie. You have to forgive me if I really, honestly thought "OEDILF" could stand for "OED I'd Like to F***." I mean, where else could something like that come up? Are you my people, or aren't you?!
Though I really love this poem. And I had no idea there was such a thing as the Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form! How todally awesome!
And what an adorable little briddie, too.

One question though... does OEDILF stand for "Oxford English Dictionary I'd Like to F***," or is it just me?

When naming the aberdevine, It's siskin that birders assign. I think the word finch Might suffice in a pinch, And I've heard even bird would be fine.

Chained_bear, you're a sick pup. I like that in a person.
