The Grim Reaper
I saw an item on the NBC Evening News last fall that really grabbed my attention. It was a medical story about a recently commissioned study that showed positively the relationship between sleeping well and living longer. The basic conclusion was that those individuals who live sleep-deprived lives…..die earlier!
So I thought to myself, “What a great theme for a TV ad: LIVE LONGER ON A LOFABED!” And that’s what led to this silly limerick. All this talk about dying made me think of the Grim Reaper…which I’ve never really thought, or knew, much about. But now I wanted to use it in a limerick, so I did a little Googling and came up with the handsome photo you see below. Then I got carried away with the rhyme, and inserted words “lighter” and “cheaper,” both of which help with the flow…but not the truth. LofaBeds are not smaller than other sofa-beds, but they ARE lighter weight and less expensive. But, y’know, anything for artistic integrity!
A LofaBed sofabed sleeper,
Is not smaller, lighter, or cheaper.
But its acquisition
By one’s own volition,
Will slow or delay the Grim Reaper!
Death as a sentient entity is a concept that has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In English, death is often given the name the "Grim Reaper" and from the 15th century onwards came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood.
