Samson- the Musician

When Orpheus sang on his flute All Nature listened falling mute But when Samson sang It sounded like a bang That sleeping babies woke up with a jolt

So did your babies sleep or were they shrieking all the time? Their mother must have had a dreadful time.... ha ha !

Orpheus charms, Samson not so much. I hear the disharmony that jolts the babies. You prove that Limericks don't have to be on indecent themes.

Thanks a lot Vijay....Limericks are just fillers when a poet runs short of profound thoughts to turn into verse (with apology to all limerick writers! )

Thanks a lot Victor for your humorous comment ! He became a flop in everything after he lost his locks. ... may be the reason that his music failed to allure.... :) :)
