Michaelangelo Vs Da Vinci

It’s said the great Michaelangelo had considered himself as a foe to a rival of his. You should know who this is - Da Vinci, the great Leonardo! So why would the one so dislike the other? I bet as a tyke Michaelangelo would tell his foe, if he could: “You’re a dreamer, so go take a hike!” Yes, a dreamer was popular Leo, and he did all his artwork so slow. he’d finish so little that here is the riddle: Why did everyone like that guy so? While Michael was giving his all, Leo faltered and then he would stall. A mural he tried, changed the paint and got fried. The guy could not finish a wall! Michaelangelo worked like a slave. To the world a great chapel he gave. While Da Vinci would play with his rich friends all day, Michael worked himself into the grave! For Marugu Mo's Contest: Historical rivalry-Part 1- Leonardo vs Michaelangelo

Here's a bunch I missed. You can spin these limericks off so great and I have trouble writing just one. Flash! I didn't know this about Leonardo. Love, daver

Oh I love that last stanza, Andrea, very good. I didn't even think to write anything about this, I should have but the muse is in hiding. Good luck in the contest :)

This is an interesting one Andrea. Almost like a lyric in limerick rhyme. They both fascinate me.
