Limerick Ode To Galileo’s Telescope

Thursday, December 3rd, 2015

A celebratory limerick for Telescope Day.

The magnificent gadget that aids
Us in viewing the stars
And the planets, like Mars.
Of course, NOW we need curtains and shades.

An Eclipsed Eclipse (Limerick)

For that promised “blood moon,” but my eyes
Were betrayed by the pall
Cast by clouds — a thick wall,
Which cut my dream view down to size.
