On Liquor Production
by David M. Smith

A friend who's in liquor production
Owns a still of astounding construction.
The alcohol boils
Through old magnet coils;
She says that it's "proof by induction."

Goodnight Irene
Author unknown

There once was a girl named Irene,
who lived on distilled kerosene.
But she started absorbin'
A new hydrocarbon,
And since then has never benzene!

Gravity's Rainbow has some great ones. The one I love (this from memory):

An engineer named Freddy Pope
Made love to an oscilliscope
The cyclical trace
Of their carnal embrace
Had a damn nearly infinite slope.

I rather like the one about Yuri, but I'm trying to keep this fairly clean.
