Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

The Affair of Delilah's Barber

THE AFFAIR OF DELILAH’S BARBER

Delilah’s decadence was hard to bare.
Barbarous Philistines, they’d cut his hair.
His new growth wrought with chillers.
They had chained him to pillars.
Samson fell house in an awful affair.

Dale Gregory Cozart June 30, 2017 at 5:30 PM If she'd bothered reading her Old Testament she would've know cutting off his hair was the wrong thing to do. Bad planning! Kim Rodrigues June 30, 2017 at 7:44 PM LOL!
