Limerick: Hard to Get Up

An old man erect, trying to drop cluesHad a wife who didn't understand cuesBut when he said pleaseShe'd drop to her kneesAnd help him tie up his shoes

Elderly She sits with her paper Immersed Hearing a melody I cannot Mesmerized by the dance I stare She becomes the text Head bobbing with the rise and fall Of each word Swaying with each line A smile throughout Enjoying the word Not the content The play And not the tragedy Beautiful ignorance
