Abby and Norma #755

There was a young lady named Tiffany
Who found that she had an epiphany:
that if you combine
an eagle and lion
the outcome is gruesome, not gryphony.
Or you could try this one. Baryphony: the internet taught me a new word.
TEXT OF COMIC:
Norma, help!
What?
I started making up a limerick, but I couldn't finish it, and it left me on a cliffhanger!
Well, that's a problem nobody's ever asked me for help with before.
Listen.
"There was a young lady named Tiffany
Who found that she had an epiphany..."
I can't finish it, Norma. There isn't a third rhyme. Now I'll never know how it ends! I can't stand the suspense!
How about:
"There was a young lady named Tiffany
Who found that she had an epiphany
Each time she would hum
The 'da da da dum'
At the start of Beethoven's fifth symphony."
Not only does that not RHYME, it doesn't tell me what the epiphany was. I'm dying here, Norma.
"There was a young lady named Tiffany
Who found that she had an epiphany.
'Twas a secret she'd save
And would take to the grave,
For to tell it would ruin the mystery."
That rhymes even less.

Who found that she had an epiphany,
Which she promptly forgot,
When she tripped on a rock,
So she limped off to tend to her stiff knee.
