Hi Mike,

OK, I'll bite.

Amorites
Pronounced As: amrits , a people of Canaan. There is
evidence of them in Babylonia, where in the 19th cent. B.C.
they established under their patronage the first dynasty at
Babylon. The most powerful king of this dynasty, Hammurabi,
put an end (18th cent. B.C.) to Amorite domination and issued
a famous code of law, similar to Israelite codes. At the time of
Joshua the Amorites were living both E and W of the Dead
Sea. They were subdued and gradually absorbed by the
Israelites.

There once was a group of Amorites
Had a penchant for eating grits
Either boiled or fried
And served on the side
The style much resembled the Brits

Ooops, sorry to the Brits!!
