String Theory
A musician named Oren returned from a trek through the hills when he learned that his violin shop was in flames to the top. Seems while Oren had roamed, fiddles burned. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hi Alice & Altay,
Thanks for the visit and the read. I hope you both caught the numerous plays on words in my limerick. The idea for it came from the "historical fact?" that: Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Yeah, I know; loses something in the explanation but I enjoy and employ convolution when I think it's necessary for a subtle chuckle or a groan. Larry Just out of curiosity Altay, from where did you derive your MM pen name? I was extremely proficient when I was a child in what was then known as "pig latin". Your pen name in pig latin means "Tall" when translated. Again, just curious! ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
