Love it! Knox's limerick's were first recited to me by advisor, mentor, friend, John Herington. Love your elegiacs from them, too!

A deaf and blind man will agree

He doesn’t have to hear or see

To know that quite definitely

He’s been beaned by a falling tree.

Hören ist ein fehlbarer Sinn

Allein Wirkung weist

Auf Dasein hin.

As to the sound and whether we perceive it

I have found we might as well leave it

To science which will say

It’s bound to happen anyway

We just aren’t around to receive it

Reminds me of a book by Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
