Notes About The Poem

My limericks, with commentary, are collected in Original Clean Limericks, available from Amazon. See my book link.

Socrates, when proclaimed the wisest man in Athens by the Oracle of Delphi, concluded that it was because he was the only one who knew he knew nothing.

The Singer Had Sought to Profess

The singer had sought to profess,
But thought it was better confess.
“I don’t know a thing
Of which note to sing,
I just sort of guess, more-or-less.”
