Let There Be Limericks: a Little Bit Biblical Ii

Sodom and Gomorrah
There is nothing at all today that remains
Of those two sinful cities that once stood on the plain.
When God vent his wrath upon Sodom and Gomorrah,
They quickly went from here today to gone tomorrow,
And all that poor Lot got was some salt for his pains.


Herod and Salome
Herod's lust for Salome a stepfather's exceeded,
But when he offered to pay her to dance, she acceded.
She didn't ask for gold, instead,
She wanted John the Baptist's head,
And that seventh veil was all the inducement horny Herod needed.


Samson and Delilah
When Delilah learned, to his despair,
That Samson's strength lay in his hair,
She got him drunk, he fell asleep,
And then she sheared him like a sheep.
Some secrets are best to keep and not to share.

The Bible has some great messages for people of all races, of both sexes, social status, and nationality. The trouble is people don't read, don't listen, don't learn and the same sins keep happening over and over. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

Thanks, Sara, but I think you're just describing human nature.
