Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

 

 

A Decidedly Short Interview With A Black Hole

The astronaut saw the black hole
And suddenly feared for his soul 
He chose to die brave
And gave life a wave
And as he went in he cried, “Goal!”

The astronaut clung to his pride
As his atoms were spread far and wide
And he nearly cried
Because as he died 
A voice in the dark said, “Off side!”

Terry Flood April 11, 2024 at 3:12 PM Don’t tell anyone, David, but whenever a Limerick is POTD, I feel it’s a mini victory for all Limerick writers. Rico (R.I.P) would have been delighted.
