Response To Ilene's Tush

Though Sampson was known for his hair
Delilah quite fancied him bare
She thought he'd look cute
Not quite so hirsute
And shaved him where no one would dare

Alas, when Mother Nature called
The whole world seemed to be appalled
With no hair to hide
Sampson's bouncing pride
His battering ram was blackballed

This is indeed so very ingenious, clever and funny.... ! Do you think one whole day on what you should write the next day or do they come so naturally? However, thanks for brightening our moods!

I get most of my themes from watching the evening news, but this one was inspired by Ilene Bauer's poem, "Tush". Aloha!

I really liked these. And here I thought it was a poem on Ilene's assets!

I was unable to distinguish between Ilene's poem and other assets because Soup does not permit the use of quotes in the title! Aloha!

Who would have wished to be bald as a coot - When they were seen wearing their birthday suit - Delilah was mean - Shaving Samson clean - As hair was his defining attribute……….. Samson's hair gave him his strength in defence - But to Delilah it just didn't make sense - She cried every day - Till she got her way - And that led to Delilah's death sentence.. Belle

Women wield a mean razor, so I suppose Samson was just happy Delilah did not draw blood . . Enjoyed your poem! Aloha!

Good thing I have never done drugs nor take medicines as who knows what the outcome might be! Aloha!
