Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Written - 16th November 2023

The Last Organ Grinder

The last organ grinder played a blinder
Intending to leave folk a reminder
To music upbeat
All those in the street
Did a conga to “Eye of the Tiger.”

It was the close of a splendid career 
The organ grinder shed many a tear
As the music died 
He swelled up with pride 
For the crowd gave him uproarious cheer.

Gershon Wolf November 16, 2023 at 8:44 PM 'Eye of a Tiger' can't be beat. Hope the Organ Grinder passed the hat and got what to eat. ~ Monkeying around Beryl Edmonds November 16, 2023 at 9:29 PM Thank you Gershon, the organ grinder did pass the hat round, got the monkey and himself a bite to eat, bread n’ cheese, they were more than pleased.
