Samson and Tina from Timnah



by Chelsea Smith

Samson was a man blessed beyond compare
He had crazy locks of thick magic hair
He was under the cover of God, and a manly man
But a hopeless romantic
Who fell for a woman from another land

Tina of Timnah caught his eye
And he summoned her for marriage without being shy
The family protested
He just ignored
He wed her, so he could bed her, and took advantage of the Lord

He made a bet with the family
With a riddle of rhyme
But then divulged the secret
In a matter of time
Tina told the fam
And Samson lost the bet
So he killed a bunch of men
To pay for the set

Samson is prideful
A liar too
He takes advantage of his covering
And in the ends he’ll loose
All that he has and later his hair too
Because he shot up his ego
And let go of the truth.

Tina and Samson could have used some aid
Get some pre-marital counseling before you get laid
He could have used some knowledge before he got all stoaked
Let’s talk about your different faiths
You need to be equally yoked

Let’s look at what the Bible says about love and marriage
And gender roles, expectations
Before we bring out the baby carriage

Let’s face it Sammy
You don’t even know this lady
You’re intentions seem odd
 And a little bit shady

Let’s slow it down
Talk it out
Before you get hitched
Tina is not what you think
To her family she snitched

Her love is conditional
And yours is thin
This marriage isn’t wise
And she’s living in sin

I hope in the end
You two will be smart
And end this relationship
Before you lose heart

Samson you need some correction
You salty dog
Spend some time on your self
And Keep after God

  1. Great poem -- but I think you meant 'lose' instead of 'loose' in the 4th stanza.
