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
