Limerick of the Week (#52): Final in the 52-Week Series

The Great Solar Total Eclipse, April 8, 2024

It was time to call it a day

When the sunlight stole away

Blocked by the Moon

Not a minute too soon

Sure as night and day both stay

It was time to call it a night

When the day closed in up tight

Intersecting all wrong

With a sunset at dawn

To send us away in a fright

It was time to call it a life

When I took my lessons from strife

A star and a moon run amuck

Sounded the chord that duly struck

And cut to my soul with a knife

Totality's a ruse, it seems

Like the fleeting plot lines of my schemes

All shadows pass

When mass passes mass

And I await my returning life's dreams

Retired, not tired. Hippocampus, behave!

Make me rich! https://www.amazon.com/Gerard-DiLeo/e/B00JE6LL2W/
