Super Samson Simpson Poem by Jack Prelutsky

Super Samson Simpson

Rating: 3.8


I am Super Samson Simpson,
I'm superlatively strong,
I like to carry elephants,
I do it all day long,
I pick up half a dozen
and hoist them in the air,
it's really somewhat simple,
for I have strength to spare.

My muscles are enormous,
they bulge from top to toe,
and when I carry elephants,
they ripple to and fro,
but I am not the strongest
in the Simpson family,
for when I carry elephants,
my grandma carries me.

'for when I carry elephants, my grandma carries me.' you hit it well when these lines expounded which in turn burst out laughing.

But i'm not the strongest, in the simpson family, for when i carry elephants, my grandma carries me. I like the expression within this piece of writing. This remind me of an old say by albert einstein who said that ' you do not understand things clearly unless you ask your grandma.
