Samson's Bane

Samson was known for strength and flowing mane

   He loved Delilah who became his bane

      Through many a bedroom schmooze

         She found the key to his ruse

            She barbered him bald in a coup de main

Poet Destroyer A Date: 6/9/2012 12:08:00 PM Bob H., poor men,, why must they always give in to twisting hips..lol.. I suppose Delilah, gave all that pretty hair to the Philistines. I wonder if they made a wig of strength. This one is a great limerick,,..pd Login to Reply
