Gift-Giving 101

Delilah was hoping for pearls
But Samson thought she'd love his curls
Come on!   Be fair!
Who wants dead hair?
So Samson got snipped like the girls.

Hmm. Good question... Maybe the 'Grateful Dead?' --- (want 'dead hair?'). Still looking for that 'answer key.' lol. :) gw

And Delilah lost her boy toy strength all because Samson did not heed the Japanese proverb: Give the girl pearls! Aloha! Rico

Funny. I would like to try "Limericks". You make them look easy and fun.

While reading this entertaining piece, I could just see Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr up on the big screen.

The moral of the story is never fall asleep as it may be more than hair they cut off, ouch! Tom

I think the Mormons call it, "Pearl of Great Price"?

LOL. This is a very fun piece of work, Rico. I got quite a kick out of it. Samson should have protected that beautiful hair at all costs!
