When Orpheus sang on his flute
All Nature listened falling mute
When Samson sang
It sounded like a bang
That sleeping babies woke up with a jolt
Amusing and interesting one. Beautiful Limerick nicely presented. Thanks for sharing.....10
Wow... This is a gorgeous limerick, The sleeping babes must have woken up with a jolt hearing Samson's resounding hoot. hearing
For one like myself who sees poetry in terms of Orpheus (Mallarme said his poems were an ORPHIC EXPLANATION OF THE EARTH!) the figure of Orpheus is a sacred figure, both symbol and reality, both god and man, but now I have to make room for SAMSON of the booming voice a-n-d the crying child. Hey, new guys, Shhh.
amusing limerick. wish them alive to check out these funny lines.......ha ha ha
That's right but my name is not Samson and you are not a sleeping baby. Anyway, enjoyed the poem.
