So long now, it’s good people knewya,/
Got lyrics and poetry thruya/
From bird on a wire/
To drunk in a choir/
We’ll sing you a last Hallelujah.///
It’s not easy to do poetic justice to someone like Leonard Cohen in a limerick – even when he’s written all the best rhymes for you. But I had to give it a go.
