Sifting through the chaos.
Like blind men inspecting the elephant,
Finding the clues that are relevant
Can be tricky, I know
So we need to show
Much more than the subjective element.
Here is the poem Helen referred to in her comment about the six blind men and the elephant.

Another great limerick Stafford!
ReplyDeleteYes, we must be clever in getting at issues to offer good solutions.

well now...do they be short men or tall men?
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the last two lines of that poem .. 'though each was partly in the right, and all were in the wrong.'
ReplyDeleteTrue depending on where you stand. Your jam tastes mighty fine ......
Suz!
ReplyDeleteYes Helen, and the poem is worth reading in full so have linked to it. Thanks.
Haha - very impressed with your ability to rhyme words with elephant :)
ReplyDeleteThat's probably the first profound limerick I've read.
ReplyDeleteNice!
Cheers,

Cheers, Stafford!

ReplyDeleteI keep misspelling things - sorry. Very masterful. Very impressive. Who would've thought anyone could find a rhyme for elephant. When you've found a rhyme for orange I will rename you the Limerick Dalai Lama, sitting on the mountain!
ReplyDeletewe can sift all we want but the evidence is as plain as the nose on your face, fantastic write
