It's probably too late to do anything to fix my paper (though I do have all night still...), but I am still interested in them.

There once was a limerick from Llagimlyn,
Which is further from here than ol' Finland,
The Knights there are COOLZ,
And Blood Drops sure RULEZ,
But he's never been written by gremlinn!
