A Limerick A Day

John Moynes at 9:08 am January 28, 2014

We gather together to mourn,
An object which used to adorn,
The home of a dancer,
Before some low chancer,
Got his hands on the poor fellow’s horn.

Pete Seeger, folk singer (above right with Bob Dylan) and peace activist has died at the age of 94.

Jon Pareles of the New York Times writes:

His agenda paralleled the concerns of the American left: He sang for the labor movement in the 1940s and 1950s, for civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam War rallies in the 1960s, and for environmental and antiwar causes in the 1970s and beyond. “We Shall Overcome,” which Mr. Seeger adapted from old spirituals, became a civil rights anthem.

Not a nice feeling being crushed between a wall and the barriers due to the huge stampede at Coppers. I’m just so glad we all got out okay!
